Workshop Highlights

Are you one of the few who collects unique stories, not just souvenirs?

You've explored the Hagia Sophia, sailed the Bosphorus, and immersed yourself in the Grand Bazaar. These are wonderful things to do in Istanbul, and now it's time to create your own Istanbul art, not just admire it.

In my Turkish tile painting workshop, you'll:

  • Paint traditional designs alongside an artisan (no experience needed).
  • Unlock 500 years of Turkish craft in just 3 hours.
  • Take home the tile you created. It'll be your most meaningful Istanbul keepsake.
  • Sip your Turkish tea or coffee with breathtaking views, forget your phone, and transcend to the age of craftsmanship with me.

Don't miss out. Only 4 spots per session!
