Feels like a meeting with long-lost friends - The organizer and facilitator were sympathetic and took a great care of me during the workshop. One can feel that they put their soul and heart onto this event. Plus, they really enjoy meeting and hosting guests. One also feels that when they are there. If you want to experience the authentic local culture like locals do, this is the right place ^^

Wonderful workshop! - Really enjoyed this workshop! My wife and I were looking for something different to do while visiting Istanbul for a week and came across this workshop. After seeing so many beautiful textiles in the markets we thought it would be fun to try and create our own. The workshop was phenomenal! The instructors were great, guiding us through the process and sharing some history about Istanbul during the workshop. They made us feel right at home with their warmth and offered us tea and biscuits as we crafted our carpet. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something unique to do while in Istanbul

Weaving and more! - What a pleasure this was to learn from these engaging people! The opportunity to prepare a small loom and weave a piece to take home with me. It was welcome respite to step out of the tourist rush and to spend a couple of hours with the fibre in my hands. As much as anything I enjoyed the interaction with İlker and Ömer, learning about life in Istanbul/Turkye - education, work, family life and tradition. I highly recommend taking this workshop. Great for beginners and interesting for those with some experience also. I highly recommend taking this workshop.

A wonderful and unique experience! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ - The workshop is very "hands on" and I absolutely loved weaving the carpet myself! Ilker was very enthusiastic and made the entire experience engaging and enjoyable. He patiently guided us through the process, explaining each step in detail and sharing interesting insights into the history and significance of Turkish carpet weaving. I highly recommend this workshop!
