We came to Istanbul with a specific goal in mind - learn how to create our wedding rings by ourselves with a help of an artist. We had zero experience that's why we got one prep workshop with a brass and one workshop with gold and engraving. Both of them were held in an authentic place with friendly atmosphere surrounded by patience and willingness to help by Ayfer and 'usta' Eren.
We've learned step by step process of cutting, bending, welding, decorating and polishing our rings. As a result we have 7 brass rings with different patterns and 2 cherished golden rings. Even more these rings have a custom handmade engraving what makes them even more special, rare and unique. We're very grateful for Ayfer and highly recommend these workshops to have a great time and memorable results of your work.

Unique Bazaar Jewelry Workshop Experience
My jewelry workshop with Ayfer and a local jewelry usta was a one of a kind Istanbul experience. Going into the back alleys of the Grand Bazaar to a historical and cozy studio and spending a few hands on hours with a Bazaar jewelry master felt like a step into a world I never would have experienced otherwise. Ayfer was spot on with her communication and was gracious, friendly, and super informative.

Fantastic time cooking with Ibrahim!
Ibrahim was a fantastic host. He showed us around the Island, took us shopping and welcomed us into his home which had fantastic views across all of Istanbul. We cooked and talked all afternoon and ate some of the most delicious food we had during our time in Turkey. I cannot thank Ibrahim enough for his kindness and hospitality. Definitely recommend.

Awesome day in a beautiful island!
I have no words to describe Ibrahim. He was amazing from the very beggining, helping me with all doubts to set it up.
His house on the island has THE BEST view and the island itself is amazing, and really cool to visit. Reccomend to do as us and arrive a little earlier (he met us and showed some spots from the island btw :)
Food is simply great, one of the best and things we can definitely replicate at home.
I think I can only thank him for the amazing day. It was definitely super super nice
