Amazing Experience for Everyone! - If you love looking at the Turkish lamps in the shops, you will love making your own at this place. The instructor Kariya is so friendly, informative, and easy-going. She is so fluent in English that we thought she was a native English speaker. We had a really great time talking with her while making lamps. She had some great tips to teach us making the experience less daunting. She was also very friendly with our daughter and engaging in conversation with her and letting her do some fun things like shaking the beads and putting together the glass on the templates. There is A/C in there so it made it super comfortable on a hot day! This was the highlight of our time in Istanbul and we will treasure these lamps in our home for many years.

Unique Turkish Experience - Such a fun experience! The instructor made it very easy to understand & was thorough with instructions. There were so many colors to choose from so you can get creative as you want. I would recommend this experience to anyone wanting to do a unique hands on activity. The lamp is not huge & is wrapped up so it is easy to take home. I did have a bit of trouble finding the place. It is not located in the Grand Bazaar which Google maps kept having me walk through. Signal is difficult because of all of the businesses in the bazaar. It’s on a side street close by inside a lamp shop where you walk up a few flights of stairs. Outside it says Istanbul Lamps as the name of the store.

Lamp making - We had a fabulous time being shown and making our lamps which now have pride of place in our home in the UK. We were given plenty of snacks and drinks whilst we worked. This place is a gem in the Grand Bazaar

Memory making - We loved every minute of this authentic experience! We walked through the grand bazaar and into an out of this world lamp shop! Upstairs we were inspired to create our own. We were offered Turkish tea and everyone was so friendly! We were so happy we did this and we have a take home memory forever!

Amazing Arts and Crafts - Shalar, I’m definitely spelling that wrong, is amazing. She was patient and had good advice and clear instructions. She was funny and just a great presence to be around. And iris was helpful too. Definitely take this class. Use more tiles than beads if you’re pressed for time.

We waited 45 minutes ended up leaving and getting a refund because nobody showed up to teach the class. - According the the lamp store employees, the instructors often don't show up for smaller groups. I was very disappointed since this was the activity I was looking forward to the most.
