What to expect

✨ Step into the world of Turkish carpet weaving ✨
Weather too cold? Weather too hot? Take a break from the chaos of Istanbul and join us for a few hours of laughter, stories, and weaving. This isn’t just a workshop it’s a little escape where you get to sip tea, nibble on snacks, and discover one of Turkey’s oldest crafts with your own hands.

You’ll sit at the loom and, with our guidance, turn colorful threads into your very own piece of Turkish carpet. Most people walk in saying, “I have zero skills,” and leave saying, “Wait, I actually made this?!” The joy on their faces (and sometimes their kids’ too!) is why we love what we do.

We keep groups small so everyone gets attention, and between the weaving you’ll hear fun stories about Istanbul, Turkish culture, and the history behind these carpets. The vibe is always friendly and relaxed think tea, instant coffee, maybe too many snacks, and a lot of laughs. By the end, you won’t just have a handmade souvenir… you’ll have a memory that’ll last way longer than any bazaar purchase.
