Sue, our teacher for our small group was friendly, patient and has a great eye for detail when helping to pick beads to add to fill the gaps between the glass pattern. It was an exceptional experience, with easy flowing chats , delightful Turkish coffee-tea and sweet treat of Turkish Delight.In store, you will find the great selection of lamp options. The lamps are quality made and are true to description online with detail. Highly recommend

Teacher was lovely! So many options to make, or freestyle
Jenny Kalf • Attended Jun 2026
The class was great and our teacher was lovely providing us with plenty of guidance throughout. The change of location 20 minutes before our class started was very frustrating though, especially as we had driven along way for this class and this then made us late.
Joanne Roy • Attended Jun 2026
If you need a diversion from the daily grind or the hassles of a busy life, this class is for you. Really simple. You don't need to be an artist. You will be surrounded by hundreds of lamps to provide inspiration. The class is a great opportunity to catch up with friends or maybe even meet new friends. The teacher is very knowledgeable and will even help you make your design perfect. Fully recommend attending this class. We will all be back to create a matching pair of lamps!
Vicki Wilson • Attended May 2026

Michael Ali • Attended Apr 2026
I recently attended a Turkish glass mosaic lamp-making class in Castle Hill and had a really enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, making it easy to settle in and get creative. The teacher was both knowledgeable and genuinely helpful, guiding everyone through the process with patience and enthusiasm.I felt very welcomed from the moment I arrived, and the small touches—like being offered some delicious Turkish sweets—added to the overall experience. It was a fun, hands-on activity and a great way to learn something new in a friendly setting. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and creative experience.
Adam Kagan • Attended Apr 2026
Amazing time, lots of fun I love the lamp as well!!!
Mandy Clarke • Attended Apr 2026
Brought my daughter and a friend for this class and we had the most DELIGHTFUL time!! Bushra (i hope that’s the correct spelling) was so incredibly kind and patient and we found the class so relaxing and therapeutic the time went so fast! We loved the gorgeous apple tea - what a beautiful extra touch to make this class just such an unforgettable experience, and surrounded by gorgeous and inspiring lamps - the perfect ambience!! Would LOVE to do this class again!! ❤️

Jasmine White • Attended Apr 2026
This was Jasmine's second time doing this class
Iram - my instructor - was so nice and very helpful. She was checking in on me and teaching me how to do different parts. I loved how it was so hands on and relaxing to organise the beads and tiles. I loved how you had so many different patterns that you could choose from and that you could even design your own.
Mitch Hogfalt • Attended Mar 2026
This was Mitch's second time doing this class
This is the second class I have done at Istanbul bazaar in Chermside. The lovely lady who takes the class is amazing. Very helpful and hands on which I really enjo. It gets the pattern you want done professionally.

Highly recommend this class. The teacher was accommodating and helpful with every step of the process. We thoroughly enjoyed the class and are so happy with our lamps!
Tam Nguyen • Attended Feb 2026
The teacher was very accommodating to us being late, and staying late. She gave us lots of freedom to experiment, but still provided advice when it was beneficial.
Anthony Shearer • Attended Feb 2026
We booked mosaic lamp making as a team activity for our work group of 9 people. We all enjoyed the afternoon in a relaxed setting, with a kind and patient teacher. We even had some lovely apple tea and Turkish delight while we enjoyed making our designs. Everyone loves their lamps. It was a great experience.
Christine Shardlow • Attended Feb 2026
Excellent choice of classes on offer, online - process very simple.Teacher, Denise a gem, enhances the whole creative experience.Suggestion re Parking your car - don't park at Woolworths end of Westfield Chermside.Park at other end, rooftop - for disabled there is a lift (from memory)I followed some online recommendation to use Woolworths end, and walked a painful long distance in a Moonboot (recovering from a broken foot)
Mitch Hogfalt • Attended Jan 2026
HiI was lucky enough to be the only student today so I had the full attention of the teacher inram? She was so lovely to deal with and helped me do a wave on the lamp I was making. I enjoyed it so much I am going to back with a friend and make another lamp. It was a hard pattern to make but once the first pattern was set and explained fully it was all go!!
Nadine Etscheid • Attended Jan 2026
Denise was my teacher at chermside store she was over the moon the best teacher I've had with children. My children have adhd and asd they get overwhelmed quick and quit but she kept composure I explained why they were like that and she turned it into a stress free happy zone the music she played was awesome some many different genres the kids were even singing along. I would love to bring my sister and mother to do a lamp. Maybe a birthday package deal for them as their birthdays are all a month apart lol. Now to find the time to get them away from their families lol. Thankyou thankyou thankyou. At first I did think a little expensive but the product the time the the teachers experience its all worth it. out of
Judy Hayden • Attended Jan 2026
Excellent activity - our teacher was really attentive and helpful explaining the process. Such a delightful way to spend time with friends and create a beautiful piece of art for your home - highly recommended.
Julie McGilvray • Attended Jan 2026
I enjoyed it very much. The teacher was so pleasant and explained every step clearly. The process took longer than the 2hr session but this was not a problem. The Turkish delight and apple tea refreshments were lovely - thank you.
Stephanie Bagala • Attended Jan 2026
My partner and I did this for date night and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The instructor was so calm and helpful, and made us feel very welcome with some hot apple tea. She created a great environment for us to feel comfortable in our design and colour choices, and was always ready to help whenever we asked. Would absolutely do this again, but might end up with a house full of lamps!
Yovanna Reddy • Attended Jan 2026
Very easy to follow. We had enough time to enjoy the class
Alexandra • Attended Jan 2026
Büşra was absolutely fantastic and such a patient, thorough teacher. She was so kind and really fun to talk to! Thank you for helping us create our beautiful little lamps! It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience! And the tea was delicious!
Georgia Ball • Attended Dec 2025
Such a fun afternoon. The lady running the shop was lovely. Highly recommend.
Carrie Jackson • Attended Dec 2025
A wonderful morning learning from Denise. I felt welcomed and at ease, even when the shop became busy. I could ask questions and was guided through each step. Highly recommended as a mindfulness or calming activity, as well as a social get together idea. Gift card from ClassBento was super easy to use and long expiry so I didn't feel rushed to choose something.
Carla Woodgate • Attended Dec 2025
We attended our class at Chermside on Saturday morning. Our teacher was lovely, friendly, and very helpful. Although it did feel a bit understaffed, she handled everything really well.While we were there, a group of seven arrived with a booking for the same time, but the teacher hadn’t been made aware of it. She and the group worked together to organise another day and time, but it highlighted an issue with the booking system.Overall, the class was great, but I think the booking system needs a review to prevent overbooking in the future.
Rina Francey • Attended Dec 2025
I had a wonderful time with my daughter decorating the lamps, Phillis our teacher was amazing very friendly and passionate Would definitely recommend.

Jane Thornton • Attended Oct 2025
Our teacher was amazing and so willing to help and explain how to do what we were doing. I am someone who really doesnt have any idea when doing arts and crafts. I dont consider myself to be creative at all. The teacher was very patient and kind even when it took my a little bit to get it. i would highly recommend doing this it was so fun
Lois Smith • Attended Oct 2025
Excellent experience in every way. Individual assistance and attention to allow all class members to move at their own speed and produce something they loved. Would highly recommend.
