Designing the lamps was an amazing experience! The lady that was helping us (khinmyo) was great, she helped us with deciding on colours when we wasn’t sure and helped when placing the gems on the lamp. You get served turkish tea with turkish delight, when decorating there js lovely music playing in the background. Overall this was a great, relaxing and memorable experience! I definitely recommend!

I found this place online and came here to experience the art of making the mosaic lamps. I walked in and they were very accommodating. Khin Myo guided me to make the lamp. She is excellent and gave me a lot of options with colors and walked me through the whole process. I also enjoyed the Turkish tea and delight. I highly recommend this place?

We had a wonderful time. The area is comfortable, the workshop is clean and well supplied. The lamps turned out really cute. Given our amateur skill level. They were surprisingly easy to do. We had a very good time, I brought my family, including two grown kids and we put the lamps together in about an hour and a half. Only suggestion would be that you don’t debate too long on color or design and since you begin to be single, otherwise we were warned, you could run out of time. Not a problem for us lamps were great definitely a good value and a fun activity. KHYMO was our host, she did a great job!
