Kerrie Homan • Apr 2024

Great experience with a small group of people. The teacher was really approachable and guided us through the steps and pitfalls to avoid in the process. There were lots of beautiful coloured glass mosaic tiles and beads to choose from to make our individual masterpieces!
My daughter and I walked away after the 2 hour session with a lovely turkish table lamp (with the globe even)great experience and highly recommended :)

Huon Latham • Apr 2024

A lovely thing to do on a date, with a friend or a loved one. We had a great time, the instructions were clear and the craft was easy but satisfying!

Jacqui Lademann • Apr 2024

What a wonderful experience!

We booked in as a group of 5 for a friend’s birthday. None of us had done it before yet we were very happy with our final product at the end.

Essie our instructor was a delight! We will be back.

Matthew Harter • Apr 2024

Really great fun. Lots of different options for how you'd like to make your lamp and Essie was super helpful and really lovely. Great afternoon, thank you!

Kerry Duligall • Mar 2024

I enjoy of Turkish lamp it was amazing I love it Anything good time it help of set up with my support worker this will be great doing good job

Andrea Pereira • Mar 2024

Very nice place, beautiful activity and enough time to finish everything :) happy happy happy Thanks

Katia Lewis • Mar 2024

We loved our Turkish jewellery workshop. Very relaxing.
It would have been good if the workshop was at least 1hour30. 1hour is very short.
I can’t remember the name of the lady who was doing the workshop but she was very nice and helpful.

Fiona Grant • Mar 2024

The class was relaxing and the instruction were easy to follow. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Would recommend it

It was a great class, beautiful lamps were created, plenty of colours, and precut mosaic glass shapes, and beads provided so we don't have to cut anything. Great for kids too.
Semra is a great teacher, and very patient with all of us. I have already booked my next class. I discovered that the studio also teaches silk painting, jewellery making and other forms of art.

Helene Travis • Mar 2024

The class was fun and quite therapeutic designing and completing the candle! My daughter and I enjoyed it very much.

Michael Gaffney • Feb 2024

The teacher was amazing and was very supportive throughout the whole process, striking a really good balance between offering help and guidance, and giving us free reign. The tiles were beautiful to look at and sort through. By far and large the tiles were all sorted and organised which is an insane feat considering how hectic the workshop can get. Would definitely recommend this workshop. Ended up with a beautiful product, as well as tips on how to improve it if we were nitpicking certain parts about it at home. The time blew by and didnt feel like it was two hours. Small side note, its really not a calm relaxing workshop as theres a lot of decisions with colour matching, themes, tile placement and patterns, so you'll be working on it right until the end. That being said I'm very tempted to do it again to try different colours and patterns

Laurelle Erwin • Feb 2024

I really loved making this lamp…my teacher was excellent she explained in a way that was simple and easy to understand
I recommend anyone to attend this class young or old.

Jahvois Andrews • Feb 2024

It was great we both enjoyed our time thank you so much for having both of us

Mel Parks • Feb 2024

Essie was helpful and showed us what to do. A nice way to pass a few hours and the end result was pretty good

Mick Connolly • Feb 2024

Loved the class. The lamp was fun to make, looks great and Esse is very nice and helpful. Highly recommend
Mick

Cathrine Vella • Feb 2024

I really enjoyed the course, felt the course was rushed and a 3 hour session would be more suitable for older students like myself who needed added assistance which possibly an assistant to the course provider as I don’t feel she could give a better teaching experience on her own and I am now going to have to make adjustments to my craft at home

Emma Kinsella • Feb 2024

The Teacher was very nice, and class was very fun!
The tile colours are gorgeous!

Sarah Moore • Feb 2024

Could have spent more time explaining the impact of different colour schemes with the light.

Mimi Truong • Feb 2024

I got a birthday voucher and brought along a friend for her birthday. We did come a few minutes late, so missed the initial instructions, but another attendee was happy to fill us in.
It was a fun experience although halfway through at the sticking beads part, it started to get stressful since we were trying to finish within the timeframe. The instructor was happy to help get more materials and give tips along the way.
The overall finished lamps were so beautiful, it was fun seeing everyone's creative juices and colour combinations.
We were too focused that we only had a turkish delight and tea at the end, which were a treat!

Aider Ramazanov • Jan 2024

Fantastic class! So much help and expert instruction throughout the session. The team at Anatolia Art Studio was so friendly and the studio was beautiful. The best part was that no one's lamp looked like each other because there were so many colours to choose from.

Julia McDonald • Jan 2024

The class was awesome ! Loved the experience with my mum and sister. The instructor Sevda was clear with instructions as well as warm and supportive throughout the creative process ! Would recommend

Stephen Boyd • Jan 2024

Fantastic Highly recommend

The atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable

Making the lamp was less daunting than I thought it would be

Natsuki Hara • Jan 2024

This was such a fun class. The instructors were so helpful and nice. The studio was beautiful and organised and lots of parking options.

Huong Nguyen • Jan 2024

Teacher didn't seem very interested. Gave minimal instructions. Was on her phone throughout session. Didn't have stock in some bead colours. No where to wash hands or toilet. Could've been a better experience. The beads started to fall off once dry. Probably needed to be sealed. No after care instructions provided.

Robyn Wallace • Jan 2024

Amazing class. Friendly helpful teacher who gives you space to create but has great guidance in times of need. Highly recommend this class. Great fun and suitable for kids as well.
Thank you

Hammy Rong • Jan 2024

Such a splendid way to spend the afternoon at Anatolia Art Studio. I’m really happy with how my artwork turned out. I will be back to re-do this class again as it was so therapeutic, relaxing and excellent value for money. Thank you for the Turkish tea and sweets it added a lovely touch to everything.

Denise Dev • Jan 2024

The Watercolour painting class at Anatolia Art Studio exceeded expectations. The instructors were very knowledgeable and there was a huge selection of templates available. The watercolour papers were high quality 300 gsm and the pigments were also good quality. Overall, I learnt a lot about traditional motifs in the Ottoman period and it was relaxing to paint along to music, tea and Turkish cookies.

Madeleine Brennan • Jan 2024

Location of the studio was perfect,
The teacher was very good at explaining however left us to get creative on our own which I liked.
It was such a fun experience! I can’t wait to do it again!

Kerry Williamsq • Jan 2024

Great class and so many colours to choose from with some great tips and hints along the way.

Ruby Barnard • Jan 2024

The class was fun and I would recommend it, however, I did feel like it was somewhat rushed which did have an impact on our final products that we produced. The teacher was very lovely and helpful and I would recommend this class for anyone as it was quite fun and especially if you have a group of people or sit at a table with other lovely people, the class just doesn't really allow enough time to perfect your lamp and creating/choosing your design felt very rushed. My friends lamp turned out a bit wonky as they tell you to guess where the middle point would be, which was a bit hard for her as she doesn't often do creative arts, so perhaps offering a little more time or guidance to where the centre point of the lamp is to place your design would have helped her a lot. I think I would also recommend having a good idea have an idea of what you are going to create/design before arriving to the class.

Benita Thomas • Jan 2024

Essie was a great teacher, was super helpful and seemed experienced! Was super casual which made it really easy to have fun while working on the lamp. Venue was great, small and intimate which made us feel more comfortable, there were heaps of colours and ideas to choose from and really encouraged creativity in us All in all, was a super great experience, would definitely do again :))

Jodie Gosper • Jan 2024

It was a really fun class
Plenty of colors to choose from and patterns
Everyone’s lamp in the class were quite different but all looked amazing
Would definitely recommend and I would happily go back

Amy Plowman • Jan 2024

We had a great time making our lamps though our instructor could have provided more guidance and been more present in the process.

Tanyel Hasim • Jan 2024

The class was so much fun. I made a candle holder and it turned out beautiful. Essie the instructor was very helpful and assisted us throughout the entire process from start to finish. It was also the first time I tried authentic Turkish delight and we loved it so much. We will be back next time to make the lamps.

Dianne Leinmueller • Dec 2023

I had a great time. I went solo and met a lovely family of three generations doing it together, what a great gift. I adore my lamp that I am very proud of. I’d definitely recommend it.

Evan Richardson • Dec 2023

Great class and well organised structure. Quality of materials was excellent with plenty of variety and colours to choose from.

The studio is absolutely gorgeous, well appointed and perfectly set up for classes. I will definitely go back.

Caitlin Bowie • Dec 2023

The teacher was approachable and conducted the class really well. There was plenty of colours of tiles and beads to choose from. I would recommend this class from friends and family, and would be fun to do with a group of people.

Kellie McLaren • Dec 2023

Class was really fun. Quality of materials were superb and Essie our instructor was so helpful.

A fun and relaxed exercise. The teacher was lovely, although I felt there wasn’t enough of certain shaped glass pieces.

Recommend this workshop!

Class was so much fun, the Turkish tea and Turkish delights were a nice touch. Studio is in a good location with plenty of parking options.

Grant Spencer • Dec 2023

Over 100 colours of mosaics to choose from, all of them hand cut from stained glass sheets. The quality of the lamps were great! They have both white and brass lamp base options to choose from.

Rumaiya Haque • Dec 2023

The Turkish mosaic lamp workshop with Anatolia Art Studio was an enchanting experience that beautifully captured the essence of traditional Turkish craftsmanship. The expert guidance and hands-on approach allowed participants to create stunning mosaic lamps, immersing them in the rich cultural heritage of Anatolia.

I am on the autism spectrum and I enjoyed this class with my support worker. The teacher was helpful and made it easy for me to understand. I will be back to make a lamp next.

Sandy • Dec 2023

I had some much fun doing this! Thanks for an excellent morning

Jennifer Courtney Leen • Nov 2023

It was a lovely experience, a bit more one on one support would have been good. There was no Turkish Tea provided as mentioned in the original booking which was disappointing.

Sofie Mulligan • Nov 2023

Really awesome class which was very enjoyable. The provision of Turkish delight and tea was a very nice touch. The instructor has good expertise and understanding of the process, so gave good advice to both those who struggled and those who wanted just a little bit of input.

Amy Moule • Nov 2023

Was well set out and really enjoyable. We wished we had just 1/2 hour longer though!

Lovely relaxing environment to leave how to let our creativity free. Great date night idea. Our teacher was great and helped guide us through the process to create out masterpieces

Elise Khoo Zi Xuan • Nov 2023

Wonderful experience with Essie. We had booked for an earlier session and thankfully there was only 4 of us in the class. Turns out the next session was going to have 27 people in it! Such a variety of colours and styles to choose from. I am very happy with the class. Would recommend

Uyanga Erdenetsetseg • Nov 2023

I loved this class. My daughter and I had been talking about doing this class for so long and are so glad we did it. The room had a nice vibe and the teacher was so nice. Definitely a must try experience.

Lovely teacher and fun class. Lots of colours to choose from . Looking forward to using my lamp when the glue dries

Tess Rouvray • Nov 2023

I adored this workshop! Essie was such a lovely host and instructor - so warm, kind and welcoming.
The activity itself was so fun and relaxing. The space was really well set up and well-stocked. I loved the smallish class size - it wasn’t overwhelming at all.
I highly recommend this class. I’d do it again.

Sophie Bass • Oct 2023

Fantastic experience, quality and colours of mosaics were great. A large selection to choose from.

Anna Obrien Noriega • Oct 2023

Really fun and lovely experience - absolutely delighted with how my lamp turned out ❤️ thank you!

Carole • Oct 2023

A huge selection of coloured and shapes of glass was provided for the Turkish Mosaic lamp. The teacher, Essie, instructions on how to create the lamp (or candle holder) in such a way that created, in my opinion, a calm and comfortable atmosphere. Before I started the class I was somewhat nervous but I soon relaxed and enjoyed the creative experience. I am very impressed with Essie from Anatolia Art Studio and consider the Turkish Mosaic Lamp to be extremely well priced for the quality of teaching and materials provided and what you are able to take home as a finished project.

Manjusha • Oct 2023

Teacher is great helpful and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the workshop and friendly participants as well

Natasha Angelovski • Oct 2023

It was a lovely afternoon. Our teacher was very helpful and knowledgeable. The hardest thing was deciding on what colours to use to decorate our lamps.

What a great activity! Easily accessible location with a nice feel to it; friendly teacher who explained the activity well and helped when required (a great help with colour choices - so many options!).
I attended with my 13 year old daughter and we both had fun and left with lamps we love :) It’s a really relaxing, calm activity, but would also be fun in a group with friends; perhaps a good option for a different kind of birthday or hens party.

I attended this workshop twice and will definitely come back with more friends. Absolutely amazing experience - starting from warm welcome of our charming workshop leaders, through inspiring atmosphere of creativity, to finishing touches of Turkish tea and sweets. Highly recommend for everyone who loves arts and crafts!

Carter Howlett • Oct 2023

Teacher was incredibly friendly/knowledgeable. Great space with immaculate vibes. Such a fun experience and the Turkish delight was insane. 100/10 would go decorate another lamp

I hosted a hens. The atmosphere was calming and relaxed, and instructions were helpful. Appreciated the tea and Turkish delight, and all the beautiful colours of the materials. My lamp looked a bit rubbish but that was because I am not the most creative, and not because instructions and materials weren't great. However our hen managed to match her lamp to her dress perfectly. Definitely bring your own pack of baby wipes to help wipe of glue from your hands, as there isn't anything provided and you will get a bit coated in beads.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Sep 2023

This class was really fun! It was also quiet therapeutic as well. The Venue was a good size and the teacher was lovely and very helpful. I really enjoyed this class and I love the lamp I made, I’ll definitely be coming back

Theresa Collins • Sep 2023

Great fun experience though an extra half hour would be better as it was a rush trying to finish

Dirk Vale • Sep 2023

Wonderful teacher and a really fun experience! Will definitely do it again, keen to do a bigger lamp next time!

Our teacher was lovely. There was a wide variety of materials to choose from. We had such a nice time:) I would highly recommend doing this class to anyone.

Arden Haar • Sep 2023

Enjoyed the mosaic part of it, but not sure the owner knows how to run a business properly. This was the second time trying to come to this class, as our first booking apparently was somehow ‘double booked’. Not really sure how that happens for a class like this, but then turning up early to the class to find the whole place closed made it all feel a little dodgy and nervous - not a great way to start the lesson. The teacher was about 15 minutes late to the class, and with everyone else waiting the manager was called atleast 15 times to find out what was happening, and no one was getting an answer on the phone. It’s okay to be late, but this needs to be communicated to people aren’t waiting outside thinking they are ripped off, or have no idea if the class is happening. When the manager did answer finally, she didn’t apologise for the situation. The teacher of the class did apologise and she was a lovely person. However after the initial explanation she wasn’t really present for the class, she was just sitting there on her laptop, I didn’t even realise she was in the same room for most of it. especially during the glue phase, it would have been good to have her watching and engaging with everyone to support how much is put on - as this has a huge impact on whether the mosaic beads are actually going to stay on, and unfortunately can ruin the final product. The glue also takes a long time to try, so people are leaving the glass while it is still very wet, which makes it easier for the mosaics to fall off etc

Did enjoy the actual process, and plus was the Turkish delight and tea provided. There were a lot of colours, but still think that there could have been more, especially for the beads.

Samantha Gan • Sep 2023

The class wasn't necessarily bad but it was also nothing to run home about. We arrived to the class 5 min early and everything was closed. You would think that the instructor would be inside prepping the class or even have a light on or something. The instructor was 10 mins late due to traffic which isn't the problem, it was the lack of communication. Myself, my friend and 4 other girls were waiting outside. On a google search of Anatolia Art Studio we saw reviews about people getting scammed which was an immediate red flagged but waited till the teacher arrived.

Once we were inside it all just felt a bit rushed, the teacher didn't provide as much support as you would expect and tucked herself around the corner and just sat on her laptop after the introduction. Bit of a strange atmosphere if you ask me. We were still happy with the end product but I wouldn't be rushing back or recommending Anatolia to anyone anytime soon.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Sep 2023

The teacher is really very friendly, helpful and encouraging! Had a really fun time with my friend, highly recommended!

A different and unique way of creating beautiful pieces of art.
We called ahead to ensure wheelchair accessibility and inclusion but still felt like they weren’t well prepared. Managed to make it over the small step at the entrance and we were seated at a different table that still needed clearing and setting up.
We made a few pieces of art using different techniques that were taught on the day, although we were unable to take them home at the end of the lesson.
Overall a fun and creative way to spend your afternoon but the class could be better executed.

India-Rose Carroll • Aug 2023

Had a great time! Despite my (now very obvious) lack of creative talent, it was super fun compelling the Turkish mosaic workshop.

Instructor was friendly and helpful with clear instructions.

Venue was a good size and didn't feel cramped, even though we shared a table with some other rando's.

Would highly recommend.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Aug 2023

Our teacher Samira was amazing. There were so many colours for us to choose from, the templates also really helped us to figure out what pattern we wanted to go for and it was really wonderful to have so many options and design choices. There was Turkish tea and Turkish delights (which we didn’t even get to because we were too busy having a ball making our lamps!) and when it came to the final half an hour or so, we realised we needed a bit more time to perfect our lamps - Samira not only let us take our time but also helped us in the final stages of finishing our lamps. We got to choose from copper or white holders which were both stunning.
I really feel like we got our moneys worth but more importantly it was just such a fun class and fun morning.

Thank you so much for having us Will definitely be recommending your class to our friends

Ruby Misso • Aug 2023

Really lovely experience making a mosaic lamp amongst an intimate group. Enjoyable no matter what artistic abilities you have and teacher was friendly, approachable and knowledgeable! Great range of materials with freedom to choose whatever you want. Some tea and Turkish delight was a plus! Wholesome experience with a friend or a larger group!

Radmilla Dewick • Aug 2023

I treated my friend to this workshop as a birthday surprise and we both had a great time. It was really fun to play with all of the lovely glass and beads to create our lamps. The teacher was very calm and supported us all with suggestions and inspiration. I would recommend this class.

The teacher was very kind and helpful. There were so many colours to choose from and the templates wer easy to follow. The only part that was really difficult was putting the beads on! It was harder and stickier than I thought it would be. But otherwise, it was such an awesome and beautiful experience. The Turkish tea was also really good!

The class was a brilliant present for my mum’s 50th birthday - our instructor was super friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the end result.

Jasmine • Jul 2023

Session was really fun. Would be good to maybe have a separate class for adults and kids

Alison Phu • Jul 2023

Overall fun experience. If we had to make any suggestions it would be to:

1. Provide additional paper templates in case one of the designs in on the other side of the page.
2. Thin pop sticks to apply glue to more smaller intricate parts of patterns on glassware/ fill in gaps.
3. Ensure more zen experience by managing other groups that may be a bit "loud" or " over enthusiastic". Can be distracting for other participants.

Maddie Goddard • Jul 2023

Our teacher was really lovely and provided the group with tips and tricks to make our lamps really stand out. We were also spoilt with colour choices. The hardest part was narrowing down a design and colour palette. Will definitely be making another lamp!

The teacher is knowledgeable and friendly. However the front door was wide open on the blistering cold and windy day. I asked it to be closed. The smell from the colours is very bad and floor standing cooler was on what contributed to room being even more cold. Huge paper waste is going on. The rubber gloves is the must to wear because it is very messy business. i would suggest to the teacher to put dryer on , so paper will be dry on the spot and students does not have to come to pick it up again. Some people have to drive from afar.

Essie, our teacher, was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, organised, talented, clear speaking with clear step-by-step demonstrations, approachable, patient and greeted us with a beautiful smile.

The venue was easy to find, lots of on street parking and great location. The studio was well set up with all the paints, brushes and equipment to start immediately. Perfect for eager participants like me.

I was impressed with the variety of colours and paints available and particularly learning and seeing the behaviour of some colours and paints had on the water with different effects and reactions.

I had a wonderful and fun experience and am eager to purchase an Ebru kit to try it at home and in more classes in the near future. The class was great and offered value for money.

Ebru Art is one art technique I have always wanted to try, and loved every minute of it. I loved the freedom of playing with coloured paints in water, creating swirls, shapes, flowers, stems and leaves while having created a marbled background, only to watch your creative water painting attempt to magically appear on your paper. I loved experimenting with the different tools at hand and the horse-hair brush to create different shapes and depth of colour and in particular the 5-pin flower tool.

I loved everything about our Ebru Art class and loved the magic of painting in water only to transfer it to paper with such ease.

Ebru Art is amazing, incredible, mesmerizing, therapeutic, relaxing and immediately gratifying.

I highly recommend this class!

The class was fab! It started with a short but informative info session from our teacher explaining the steps, taking questions and offering ideas. The venue was lovely and spacious, with plenty of space to do your artwork. The variety in coloured tiles was unbelievable, the options were endless. The value for money for us was fab, to create this experience at home would not have given us as many colour options and direction so worth it for sure. Definitely recommend giving it a go

This was my second water marbling art workshop at Anatolia Art Studio. I produced a few pieces for the future exhibition. The fluidity of the medium helps to create unique magical pieces. It can be particularly relevant for the artists who strive to stop being rigid and too controlling. In Ebru, the paints have their own life, and you can only direct them so much. Even for beginners, the outcome is always mesmerising and really cool. It is wonderful that Anatolia Art Studio promotes and teaches this ancient art. You feel the history flowing through the paints and think about people practising it centuries ago.

The magic continues….

Lovely environment, really enjoyed this workshop. Very relaxing and was able to still chat and catch up with a friend. End product is practical as well. Turkish delight and tea was a nice addition. Instructions from teacher great, but perhaps she needed an assistant to help, was alot of participants for one person. Overall a really fun class, would recommend

The quality of the materials was amazing and we were able to make every single design we were after as there were over a hundred colours of different mosaic tiles and beads. They also had both brass and white lamps to choose from. Very thrilled with the experience overall, no workshop like it so far. We 100% recommend

Dorothy Jinks • May 2023

The teacher was lovely but I felt she was too busy to get around to everyone, we were given a quick explanation and then left by ourselves. She could not possibly do everything that was needed to ensure a smooth operation.
There should be another teacher helping.
The venue was good and the supplies to make the items were plentiful.
I was given the voucher by my daughter for Mother’s Day and it was fun to spend time together so I’m not complaining. Thank you :)

This was a fabulous activity for anyone at any level who loves craft and wants to make their own artistic flare on something to keep forever. Our teacher was lovely, good clear instructions, making it all seem easy to learn and was engaging in conversations with everyone. The venue was great, easy to get to and very simple and clean inside. It was also a bonus having a cafe next door for a snack and coffee before hand. There was so many colours of tiles and beads to choose from so you could create what ever design you wanted. I recommend this for anyone wanting a girls day out, perfect as a Mother’s Day activity, but you could easily do it all by yourself :)

Mary Hatem • May 2023

Had an amazing time at Anatolia Art Studio for the Mosaic Lamp Workshop! We had a great teacher and who helped us through every step to finish our Turkish lmao mosaic. Would suggest the workshop to everyone! The tea and biscuits were a great touch

Kk Lei • May 2023

The experience was really fun, but the teacher didn’t really explained the steps in details, so we didn’t know how much glue to put and what’s the drying time. It was just like a trail and error for us. I’ve also upgraded from candle (which was $59) to swam lamp ($139) and the teacher asked to pay her $84 to upgrade. Which then ended up being $143. Anyway, the end result was that lots of beads were fallen off, but I was happy with the design and the final product. Would’ve been a better experience if the teacher offers more guidance for what we paid for.

Daniela Vrljic • May 2023

It was a lovely experience. The host was really lovely and provided a great overview on how to get the best results. I walked into the class thinking we would be decorating lamps, but it seems there are multiple options available (we ended up with tea light holders), you have the option of upgrading in class. The reason for 4 stars is, a couple of the ladies in my group were after clear beads and they had run out of these. Otherwise it was a great experience. The tea and Turkish delight was a nice touch.

This class was absolutely magical! Getting to know the ancient art of water marbling, thinking about the artisans who practised it in Turkey centuries ago and ancient scrolls written on marble paper, watching the ink flow on water was a really unique and meditative experience. All teachers in Anatolia Studio are highly professional, helpful and passionate about what they teach. Highly recommend it! I was encouraged to apply my creative knowledge and experience, practice handling this medium, and was able to produce my own unique pieces such as in the photo attached.

Sweta Joshina • May 2023

I went with my friends and wasnt sure what to expect at the class. The venue was okayish, but the teacher wonderful. They served us Turkish tea and some biscuits alongwith a lot of support to help us enjoy our time during the class. This was my first time to the class and I had no clue how to begin but teacher was very pleasant and she helped us throughout the class. There was a good range of mosaic to work with. I have enjoyed my time there and I will be going again for sure.

I cannot praise the teacher Eslem enough! Her willingness to teach you with a genuine smile made this workshop so enjoyable for me. Although the class passed allocated time, she was still answering the endless questions participants asking non stop. I learnt so much that im confident to buy my own marbling set and explore my own ideas. Thanks so much Anatolian Art Studio. I'll be back to join your other art workshops that you running in your lovely studio.

Teacher was really lovely and helpful, and the class was really fun!
I the only feedback I would give is that the tea light and the swan lamp had the same allocated time. I feel like an extra hald hour to hour for the bigger lamp would have been a better time frame to finish it fully.
Otherwise everything else was great !

Amanda McNamara • Apr 2023

Teacher was nice great variety or beads ect just need longer to finish great place to do a work sop love the snacks thank you was great will be there again loved it

Melody Dai • Apr 2023

Beautiful studio, nice Tutor and colourful resources. My kids enjoyed the class but some of the pieces weren't cleanly cut so the edfes to many pieces of the mosaic didn't match up.

Betsy Kuo • Apr 2023

The Turkish mosaic lamp class was a great experience. We were immersed in the craft for the entire time and so pleased to be able to take home something beautiful and useful. I would recommend this for anyone, especially doing it with a friend or family member.

Sarah Chase • Apr 2023

Disappointing that it didn’t live up to the description. There was limited instruction and support in how to create the piece with no demonstration or step by step approach. When asking for advice or questions there was no solutions offered. The Turkish tea service (expecting traditional Turkish teas not a bag) was just an offer of a black or green tea with no further items of Turkish sweets like it is states. Felt devoid of the cultural aspect that is also stated.
Friendly person but would not call them a teacher just a facilitator of the materials. The timing isn’t great considering how wet the glue still is and pieces of beads were falling out of the box. No take home instructions or templates to encourage further creation at home. This was a present and it was disappointing for what it was.

Lee Barry • Apr 2023

The teacher was very calm yet kept the class on track. It was heaps of fun and I got something to keep forever!

What a fabulous way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

The quality of the material and lamps is excellent. Highly recommend to all.

What was advertised on the website was not what we got. There was no afternoon tea, we didn’t learn the meaning behind the patterns or the history behind the lamps, and it wasn’t a class. It was a DIY workshop where the teacher would only help if you asked questions, he never explained what we were actually doing. There was no guidance when we were there, and as soon as we got home and tested the lamps, one of them didn’t work

Kathryn Kaehler • Mar 2023

Everything was set out and ready for us when we arrived. Etka told us what to do and helped us find things we needed to create out ideal tealight. It was difficult to do the detailed job I wanted to within the 2 hours - which flew by having so much fun - so in future could appreciate knowing all the steps on advance and which were going to take the most time for my own time management. Great class to do while talking with someone, definitely a take someone and be social kind of class. Would recommend and do again.

The teacher was very shy and didn't interact with the students and shown a lack of interest from her part. However, her partner was more communicative. I found it very difficult to feel comfortable with the lack of information. The lady teacher was very abrupt with my friend and messed up her work sheet. Which led my friend to really dislike the whole afternoon. I would say it is a fun thing to do. I would have loved it, if there was more interaction from the teachers and if they provided a better environment. They can absolutely be a bit more friendly and have wet wipes at the table and paint brushes for the glue paste. Rather than those thin wooden sticks and using our fingers.

The venue was great and nearby other shops but parking was an issue.
Overall a great experience. I would highly recommend others do this workshop.

Victoria Triggs • Feb 2023

There is a difference between a teacher and an instructor. The young woman who conducted the session gave instructions at each of the key stages and responded to questions. An opportunity for improvement is to circulate, perhaps once for each stage, to see if any assistance or advice can be given.

Sherisse Goodwin • Feb 2023

A really fun class. The teacher was very helpful. Lots of choices of materials to use. My only recommendation is that a small box should be provided to take your item home as the glue was still not quite set.

Lots of choice to pick from, and well organized. Easy parking and location. The teacher was friendly but seemed a bit shy, she didn't really engage with the group.

I had a lovely time during the miyuki loom class. The teacher was very kind and patient, she gave us clear instructions and helped us when we would get stuck. There is ample choice of colourful beads to choose from and a few patterns. You spend about 1-2h in class, prepping the loom and getting started and you can then take the loom home ($50 deposit which you will get back once you return in within 3 weeks) with some extra beads to finish the bracelet. You can also purchase additional beads ($6.5 per bag) and the clasps. I think I found a new hobby for myself :-) Thank you very much Eslem & Rumeysa

Went with a group of 5.
Overall a great experience. Everyone had a great time.

The variety of mosaic tiles and beads could have been better.
Unfortunately we had no choice but to choose beads that were completely mixed in colour.
Also, there was not Turkish tea or sweets provided.

That aside, it was a lot of fun.
Managing my expectation of having to use mixed beads and no tea/sweets provided, i would attend again

A let down for me was the absent traditional Turkish tea service and a selection of Turkish sweets promised or else I would have given it 5 stars.
Overall highly recommend.

There was just the two of us today and Semra was so welcoming and patient with us. It’s a painstaking process tracing the pattern then using the Gutta paint to outline the pencil tracing and finally adding colour. Very therapeutic and recommend it for those who like arts and crafts. A very enjoyable afternoon. The final stage is steaming to prevent discolouration in the wash which can be done at home or you can pick it up from Semra in two weeks time. Thank you!

My two friends and I decided to try this activity, and it was lovely. It was just us three, so it was small and intimate. The teacher was so kind - the session was from 6 - 8 pm, but as we were so slow, she waited behind until we were finished, which was 9 pm! We really appreciate it.

The Turkish lamp making class was great, my friends and I were supported by the teacher, and able to use templates to create a beautiful glass candle holder design. We were assisted to choose colors of beads to finish decorating the candle holder and all in all it was a great experience, I already want to come back to make a larger lamp design!

What a fun class! I really enjoyed this, and there was a lot of colours and beads to choose from. The mosaics can be made using patterns from a printed sheet which really helped. Our teacher was lovely and so helpful. I’m really happy with my finished lamp!

Fantastic class and an excellent activity to do with a group of friends. The location of the venue was easily accessible and plenty of parking options available. The quality of the mosaics and colour varieties was exceptional and we were thrilled at all the different lamps made in the class. The Turkish tea and sweets was an extra addition to the class. Great value for money!

The teacher Rumeysa was lovely and guided us through every step of the process.

Could not recommend enough.

Marli Hutchesson • Sep 2022

Such a great class with a great teacher - I had so much fun and am so proud of the end result. Highly recommended

Marnie Hehir • Sep 2022

Teacher was lovely, really friendly and really helpful. A wonderful range of colours for the glass and beads. Almost too many options, if you struggle deciding on what colours to use like I did, think of where you will put it before you come so you have an idea of how it will match the environment. The instructor helps you if you get stuck too.
Be prepared to get silicone all over your hands and think about how you're going to transport the item home whilst it is drying.
Would recommend highly, a lot of fun for anyone creative and looking for a relaxed environment to craft.

The Turkish Lamp class was great. The tutor was helpful and friendly. The venue was well set up and in a convenient location (Collingwood). With the design templates provided to aid creation and the multitude of colourful mosaics and beads provided, I was delighted with my effort, so much so that I would love to do something in a similar vein on another object. The two hour class soon passed and all those who participated when home with a lovely colourful creation. (I was the only one to do a lamp. Candle holders were the other option. (Perhaps that is my next project)

This was a great way to spend a Sunday morning and learn a new skill. Rumeysa guided us through every step of the process, and helped us perfect our lamps in every detail. We are so delighted by the experience and so happy to take them home with us on the day. The mosaics were stunning, all custom chosen and hand cut from Turkey!

Tracey Pels • Jul 2022

Class was good.
More instruction would have been helpful.
Disappointing that there were limitations of some colours.
Check your whole colour scheme before starting.

Teacher's response

Hi Tracey,

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We stock over 150 colours at our studio and pride ourselves on our wide variety of stained glass mosaics. We apologise that there were some limitations on your colour scheme on this occasion. We take your feedback seriously as we strive to continually improve our products and services.

Really enjoyed this class and was thrilled to leave the class with a finished product. The teacher gave great instructions, was supportive and encouraging and helped immensely with colour choices. I went with two friends and it was really interesting to see how different each of our lanterns turned out. I would definitely recommend this class for anyone - no previous skill required.

Deirdre Kelleher • Jul 2022

3 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

The teacher was absolutely lovely - but the item we specifically ordered to work on for the class wasn’t available (and this was the whole reason we booked), the selection of glass didn’t include the types of glass you would expect (mirror, clear, white). The beads were also very limited in colour and so what I ended up producing bore no resemblance to what I had thought I would be producing. The space is good, and the rest of the class were friendly, but it was disappointing.

Teacher's response

Hi Deidre,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We take your feedback seriously as we continually strive to improve our products and services. We stock over 150 colours of unique mosaic tiles, in a wide variety of opalescent, iridescent, opaque and transparent stained glass colours at our studio. We apologise that there were some limitations on this occasion.

Kind regards,

Rumeysa led our session in my home with warmth & ease. She brought so many little bowls of tiles the table looked beautiful before we even started. She helped with colour selections & instructions on how to complete our candle holder just when needed. She was a fantastic. All the members of my party had a wonderful afternoon.

Kaitlyn Poole • May 2022

Overall the workshop was really lovely! The glass options were endless and heaps of templates to make your own design.

The downfalls were there wasn’t much direction on how to apply the glass and where you need to start and stop for the lamp fittings to sit in place. We had to ask the questions to make sure it all worked.
You Still need to grout the piece your self as well.

There wasn’t any morning tea provided like the description said and the music was broken.
However, They were able to continue to hold the class for us as everyone else has cancelled and we were visiting from interstate, which we really appreciated !

We had such a great time with glass and glue creating our masterpieces of imperfection and Rumeysa was fabulous in guiding us on colour and pattern choices and great tips. It wasn’t until we finished though and held them under the light that we got the true ‘ta dah’ moment and boy it truly was a wow moment. We are so happy with our swan lamps and would highly recommend this relaxed and creative class.

My daughter, mum and I went for a class as a Mother’s Day treat. What a TREAT! It was such an enjoyable 2 hours. Rumeysa is the instructor and owner, and she is lovely! Rumeysa was great in instructing us and had many lamps and candles to show as examples and inspiration. Asking Rumeysa for advice when creating our designs was invaluable. Drinking tea, nibbling on turkish delight and creating bespoke turkish mosaic lamps was a great experience. My mum was telling us what a fantastic time she had, as did we all.

Thank you to beautiful Rumeysa for organising this amazing event! I personally loved the endless variations of colours of glass pieces and beads provided (compared to another similar event I’ve been to), personalised approach due to a small group we were in, overall very relaxing, joyful and supportive atmosphere Rumeysa have created for us and even let me and my friend finish our work well outside of dedicated time for it. We loved it so much that wished it was running for longer! Turkish carpets and relaxing lounge music, salt lamps, tea and cookies and overall such a beautiful time and space to be immersed into creativity. I loved it! I’d definitely come again!

Really liked the mosaic materials and that you could take the lamp home. Because of that it was good value for money. I would have likes 30 more minutes to do a good job. If you were struggling, there was not quite enough time.

We were 2 mins late so we may have missed the intro of "this is what we are doing today" but other than that I'd recommend it and do it again!

Had a good time, it was a friendly group all there to try something new and a little bit different. Enjoyed the helpful suggestions but freedom to do our own thing. Would recommend

A super enjoyable time! An intimate class with a friendly and supportive environment. So many colours and materials to use for the lamp design. Can’t wait to use my lamp at home. Would highly recommend.

My partner and myself attended the Turkish mosaic lamp workshop and enjoyed the experience. The teacher was friendly and clearly explained how to make the lamp and offered help when needed.

I love the mosaic lamp I created.
The teachers were lovely. What would be great is to Include a little history of mosaic lamp creations and how it came about as an intro. Also get the attention of everyone and explain the sequence of steps, I think this was missing. Great class though, I really enjoyed it.

This was a really fun class. The group of students was quite large though, which sometimes made it difficult to hear the instructions. I arrived right on time and people had already started their mosaics, so it felt a little unstructured. I love my mosaic though and can’t wait for it to fully dry so I can assemble the lamp tomorrow

It was a wonderful experience I had with my mum making the lamps. Very friendly teacher. We really enjoyed the class. Looking forward to doing more classes.
Really enjoyed the tea and cookies. I think we could’ve spent hours on end being there and working on the lamp.

Great experience

This was an excellent class. The studio located in the Stables in Richmond was spacious with great natural light. The mosiac itself was a really fun exercise. There was a great option for colours and looking around the class everyone’s was unique but creative. Highly recommend.

Very expensive for what it is. No instruction or guidance. Instructor was a lovely lady, however spent the entire time with the same three ladies. Not what I expected, glue only and no grout, not consistent with photos or display examples, or comments on page. Wasn’t told this until end of class.

Lucy Bohan • Nov 2021

A lovely class, there were lots of variety of colours to choose from and we were given creative freedom! We had a lot of fun

Ferne Smyth • Nov 2021

I did this class with a friend and we loved it, it was simple and easy to follow and we have some gorgeous lamps to take home. We were able to ask for help and materials as needed and there was easy conversation at our tables with some of the other attendees. I would highly recommend if you're in to crafts or trying new activities

The materials were beautifully presented, the teacher was patient, helpful and pointed out handy tips to make our mosaic lamps turn out the best they can possibly be. I thoroughly enjoyed making my lamp and it sits proudly beside my bed. Tea and biscuits provided. Please note your hands will become sticky.

Fabulous venue and well organised workshop. Our only complaint is the infinite colour options! It was so difficult to choose which colour scheme to go with.

Ally • Jul 2021

I thoroughly enjoyed Anatolia Art Studio’s Mosaic Lamp Workshop. The venue was brightly lit, well-organised and our instructor was so kind answering all of our questions. There were so many colours to choose from and all the equipment was supplied. What a wonderful way to spend the Sunday afternoon! I will be back ☺️

Kate • Jul 2021

I loved the wide variety of options for colour. There were so many options to make really interesting lamps that I will just have to go back and do another class I thoroughly recommend it for anyone who likes the look of Turkish lamps.

Han Jiang • Jul 2021

This is a great chance for you to show the creative and spend your valuable time. Seeing this cute lamp come from my own hand is a very pleasant experience. By the way, the Turkish tea and desserts are a beautiful beautiful bonus for the class.

Teacher was great, offered guidance when needed and explained the steps clearly. Super relaxing to do solo or with a friend. The teacher also made Turkish biscuits/treats and gave us tea which was a lovely surprise on the day.

Highly recommend this activity if you are in Melbourne - includes a yummy Turkish morning tea. The venue, with gentle music playing, was warm and welcoming. The teachers were patient and encouraging, providing plenty of materials and inspiration. As I released my inner artist, this fun morning provided some great diversional therapy and exercise in mindfulness with a very funny bunch of gals. My piece is still to be finished with plaster but so happy with my end result.

Frehza Leffanue • Jul 2021

The class was made up of the most diverse group of ladies, whome all came together for the art and experience and it was worth every dollar! We had a huge range of styles and inspiration for our finished product which was of extremely high quality materials. Thank you for having us and thank you for the experience! Yes to another!

Hello, I very much enjoyed the course as it was fun to make the candle holder and do it with others.
I also enoyed having the turkish tea and sweets. The only thing I would suggest is a bit more instruction/explanation from the teacher at the start of the workshop. Eg use the sheet to map out pattern, what it looks like if it just dries with the glue, what it looks like if baked/fired, how to fully encrust the piece with the smaller beads. I felt I needed to ask these questions but it would be better if this was explained at the start or a midway point.
Apart from this the teacher was lovely and helpful when questions were asked.

So much fun today at the lamp making class, and everyone made something so different. The teacher was not intrusive but made sure everyone had enough information to do what was needed.
I can't wait to pick up the final product in a week!

Sasha Sullivan • Jun 2021

I really enjoyed the class. So nice to turn up and have everything ready to go. Many colours to choose from and quite easy to do. The tea and snack was a nice touch too.

It would have been good to have more of a demo and some guidance about which patterns and colours tend to work best together. Also a bit of storytelling about the history and significance of Turkish lamps.

The Turkish music and treats helped set the ambiance. The instructors were very kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend this workshop!

Teacher was very kind and we got served delicious turkish snacks and tea. The class was fun, messy and a good laugh. Getting there was easy (on the second floor of the building) and we we had no trouble parking in the area.
Looking forward to picking it up when it has been fully assembled!
