I dis this workshop with my mom. Eda our lovely instructor taught us everything we needed to know to make a beautiful mosaic lamp. She was helpful and friendly, also a wealth if knowledge about the city. We ended up making two beautiful lamps to take home with us. A really nice and fun experience, well worth it.

Fun way to spend a couple hours

Our family of four enjoyed this activity! It was fun & relaxing decorating our own lamp and everyone was very nice, friendly, and welcoming.

Great experience! It was a lot of fun to sit down, relax and make the mosaic lamps. There are so many colours and choices!

I made it myself!

Maybe it was just me, but this place was hard to find. It is in the Istanbul Lamps shop. Check the address. Fun experience. A good price for a handmade lamp. Except when you add on the shopping from the store below ;) Of course you're going to have to find a way to get the thing home. Anyway, it was fun.

Awesome experience with a great souvenir

Great afternoon activity.

Tina_L, Jan 2026

Great afternoon. Staff very helpful and taught the techniques patiently. Wasn’t easy to find the shop - look for the shop front with all the lamps and it is just outside the bazaar. We booked last minute as the weather was awful. Highly recommend.

Very fun experience...

Great experience.

Brooklynn_F, Nov 2024

Fantastic and one of a kind experience with a charismatic host. We did it last minute due to having a few hours to spare in the area and do not regret it one bit.

A must when visiting Istanbul

Ali_G, Nov 2024

Great class to take. Enjoyable, relaxing and fun. Lovely teacher who is more than welcoming an helpful 😀 Only down side to this is we didn't get the unlimited tea, only one on arrival and when I asked for one later it didn't come. Also no delicacies in site, was disappointed on that point.

Great experience, love my new lamp

Emma_L, Nov 2024

Una experiencia calmada y divertida

Andrea_M, Sep 2026

Me ha encantado el taller, la chica que lo hacía fue muy atenta conmigo y el resto de personas que hacíamos la actividad y nos explicó muy bien paso a paso cómo hacer nuestra lámpara. En mi caso me la llevé y no puedo estar más contenta del resultado. Muchas gracias, he recomendado esta actividad a más amigos!!

A quiet workshop...

Alessandra_G, Jul 2026

A quiet workshop in a nice place, a great variety of colors and sizes of lamps (medium and large for an extra charge). Excellent activity for an afternoon and a nice souvenir that one can take home!

To do with family, good experience.

Jaleleddine_A, Jan 2026

It was a good family experience to do and to discover Turkish culture with this workshop. The lamps made are supplied without the bulb and remain expensive enough for what it is. 15€ the small and 25 the average in addition to the price of the workshop.
