“A great time with a wonderful instructor, Jamie. Great vibe and very informative. Had a great time making our Turkish Lamps. Came with a friend and left with a great memory and can’t wait to book again. Loved the space and loads of other activities and art to explore and create.
Thank you. We’ll be back again!”
“We booked a private event for my cousin's bachelorette and the confirmation email clearly mentions that. The website clearly mentions turkish coffee and buklava included as part of the event.
1. We were not given a private room.
2. The instructor said turkish coffee and buklava have not been given to the clients for a long time now and she wondered why the organizer has not removed it from the website yet.
3. All the instructor said was pick the mosaic tiles, put them on the paper first before sticking them on the glass, use glue sparingly and only she will prepare and give us the beads. These instructions took her 2 mins to convey. Towards the end, she did mix the beads and give them to us and she gave us the fixutures towards the end. The question is, for this kind of experience where the instructor's involvement was less than 10 mins, why do we need this experience at all? We could simply order the DIY lamps on amazon. It's $35 on amazon. Why pay $84? I've requested partial refund for our group's experience.
I will share an update accordingly.”
“Great class! Good teacher! Not very difficult to learn the art. They have authentic lamps from Turkish vendor.
Would have liked better photo directions to reach the class as the building entrance to 2nd floor is not conspicuous. I would recommend to park in nearby garages to save time finding street parking.”
“Nathalia was amazing: she was patient, helpful, and thoughtful. She made the experience the best it could possibly be. Thanks for guiding us through!”
“Very cool space and craft. Had a nice time with the family. Teacher went through the instructions in 5 minutes and then was off doing her own other activity. Each time anyone needed something we had to get up and go get her from the other room. A few people needed more glue and she came in and said loudly to the class that we were going to run out of glue if we kept needing more and that we were only supposed to use one tiny syringe each. She then would only give us a quarter of a syringe each, leading to everyone feeling weird and being super worried about not having enough. She should have let everyone know at the beginning that glue supply was limited.
There was also notes about having Turkish coffee and Turkish delights. She did not offer this to us at all and I had to go ask if we could have some.
She also snapped at my partners mom for refilling her own beads. If you don’t want people helping themselves, you should stick around to be available. It is annoying to continuously be getting up to go find you.
For a workshop, there was very little instruction. Enjoyed it but probably wouldn’t take a class instructed by this person again.”
