A luminous, sensory celebration inspired by Türkiye’s Spring festival of renewal, Hıdırellez.
Step into an evening wrapped in warm light, soft music, and the enchanting artistry of Istanbul. This immersive cultural night invites you to slow down, sip fragrant Turkish tea, savor delicate delights, and create two beautiful keepsakes that glow long after the evening ends.
✨ What You’ll Experience
- A richly decorated studio transformed with LED candlelight, warm textiles, and atmospheric Turkish music
- Authentic Turkish tea service poured into traditional cups and saucers
- Turkish delights to enjoy throughout the evening
- A full mosaic lamp workshop featuring multiple Turkish lamp styles to choose from
- A hand‑poured candle experience using premium fragrances and dyes
- A gentle, guided cultural journey honoring the spirit of Hıdırellez — a festival of hope, renewal, and light
This is not a typical craft class.
It’s a slow, glowing, memory‑making night designed to feel like a small festival across the ocean.
