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.

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.

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.
Mikaela Wreford • Nov 2023
My group of friends and I did a private class and we had a great time! Our teacher was lovely. The studio was clean, bright and spacious with plenty of inspiration around. There were sooo many types and colours of glass and beads to choose from. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone! ????

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.

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 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

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!
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.

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.

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.

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

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The venue was bright and clean and we easily found parking nearby.

Class was fun, although the instructor didn't seem engaged in the class. It felt like we were on our own. We didn't receive any refreshment that were mentioned in the class description.

Danielle Knee • Mar 2023
No instructions
We had to ask how to do it over the whole process
Not worth paying for to be honest and I’d probably say go elsewhere
Sally Rahmani • Mar 2023
Good fun but we would have liked more direction. Good venue and everything was well prepared.

What a fabulous way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this event we upgraded to the desk/sidetable lamps the quality of the communication and guidance to achieve a special personalised lamp for each of us with the memories of the day are very special.
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.
Andrew Alford • Mar 2023
Great relaxing activity. Teacher was very helpful and gave us some good advice to make our lamps look lovely.

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.

Made a very pretty candle holder. Easy parking, clear instructions and friendly teacher but missing any Turkish afternoon tea or atmosphere. Communication was challenging. Class cancelled with the hour the first time. Second time got a confusing set of texts. Got there in the end.

This class was a great introduction to mosaics. The teacher was friendly and happy to assist with any questions. The small class size assisted with learning as the teacher was more available for questions and assistance.
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.

Lizette Jooste • Jan 2023
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. Perhaps offer some refreshments i.e., water with the class or make a note when booking to bring your own. Thankfully the cafe next door had good coffee.

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

Love the lamp that I made, incredible value for money and the facilitator was lovely.
Improvements could include better intro (welcome, my name is…, the toilets are….)
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.

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)

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.

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 !

Teacher was lovely. She instructed then left us to explore and get creative. Guided us when we needed it and was extremely encouraging.
Can’t wait to go back and make more.

Teacher was excellent. Instructions were clear and the class was small and inviting. The venue had a power blackout on the day, but I guess that can happen to anyone. We learned how to form mosaic patterns on a candle holder jar. Got to take it home and show it off. Really enjoyed the class.

This is absolutely a 10/10 experience!
Highly recommend for handcraft lovers! Brought my cousin here for her birthday and she kept telling me it’s such a great time!
Rumaysa is such a friendly and helpful lady, I really enjoyed our conversation today!

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.

This was a really fun class. There were so many choices of tiles and the facilitator was very friendly and helpful. The place wasn’t too difficult to find in Collingwood and it was a nice open space. The class was small so very individual attention.

The teacher was lovely and helpful.
A fun activity with friends, family or work team.
It would have been extra special to enjoy a Turkish coffee rather than tea n biscuits
