Esra was lovely and we had the most amazing time. The store and workshop is peaceful and full of creative energy and you can really tell that Esra loves her craft. She is extremely knowledgeable and very personable. Would highly recommend this experience.

We loved discovering traditional Turkish ceramic painting while chatting with Esra. It's a very relaxing workshop.

A great experience to find some peace and quiet on the edge of one of Istanbul's most beautiful neighbourhoods overlooking a garden after all the hustle and bustle. You will meet a real artist! Plan it at the beginning of your journey, as the glazing and firing of your "work of art" will take a few days.

Esra was an excellent teacher. She made our experience smooth & easy. She guided us well & we are so happy with our end product. A little something of Istanbul to bring home. Thank you Esra.

This is a unique experience to do whilst in the Asian side! I knew nothing about ceramics before but left the workshop, wanting to learn more about it. This is the perfect place to buy unique souvenirs too which you won’t find elsewhere too. It was a relaxing, mesmerising afternoon and I’m so glad I booked it!
