This was such a fun but time consuming project. I absolutely love it!
Oh my god this was so much fun. The craft and conversation were absolutely priceless. Iris is an amazing host and teacher with a masters degree in hospitality. Craft area was set up before arrival. Directions were explained clearly. Refreshments were plentiful and readily available. Even once we started Iris was very attentive, talkative, and kind.
We came here for my friend’s birthday and had such a lovely time. The atmosphere was warm and relaxing, the staff were all so friendly, and the whole experience was so much fun. We loved making our mosaic lamps, and they turned out even better than we expected. Such a unique way to celebrate—highly recommend!

Went with my partner to make some homemade gifts, and it was honestly such a great time! The instructors were so kind and helpful, and made the experience feel relaxed and fun. We really love how our lamps turned out, and its a very much enjoy the creative process. Will definitely be coming back.
The class was fun. The lamps came out beautiful. I definitely recommend this class to anyone who wants to try something new and have an awesome take away this class is for you.
This was so much fun! It was honestly relaxing as well
Incredible experience. Great instructors
Such a fun night with Fatih and Iris! Easy to follow instructions, we did it as a date night!
I went to celebrate my birthday with my friends we had such a great time! Fatih and Iris were super knowledgeable and helpful. Be on time!!! You definitely need the two hours. We all got a kit which included everything even the instructions to finish the process at home (the lamp needs to be covered in plaster in the end but the glue needs 4-6 hours to dry). Fatih and Iris were amazing! Will definitely be returning.
