The guide was incredibly kind and motivating, creating a relaxed and pleasant environment throughout the three-hour workshop. Once the session ended, we had the option to either explore the local area or relax in the courtyard with a coffee while waiting for the paintings to dry. Including the drying time, the whole experience ended up lasting an extra 45 to 60 minutes, which made the whole event even more enjoyable.

I had a wonderful time during this activity, thanks largely to our excellent guide. The whole experience was enjoyable, with a wide variety of patterns to pick from. Three hours felt just right enough to complete our work without feeling rushed. While the cost was slightly high, the quality justified the price. The staff were all very friendly and took great care in wrapping our artwork securely so it stayed safe during the rest of our travels. My only regret was missing out on the historical background that other groups received about traditional Istanbul sand glass window craftsmanship I would have loved learning more about its origins and significance. Still, a fantastic experience overall. Thank you.

What an absolutely wonderful workshop. Creating these stunning stained glass pieces was surprisingly simple yet incredibly relaxing such a peaceful, therapeutic activity. The studio went above and beyond by serving refreshing drinks and traditional Turkish tea while we worked, plus they had a cozy cafe area where we could unwind as our artwork dried. My only small wish is that there had been even more design templates and color options available, because I was having so much fun that I wanted to experiment with different styles. This was truly one of the highlights of my Istanbul trip.
