For a Christmas gift I got my mother in law, my wife and myself this master class. I like that you can pay the base price then upgrade when you're there. I would say you are paying more for the supplies than the class itself. The place is very beautiful and they have so much there and it looks like they do more than just the lamps. I definitely want to go back for some of the other stuff they have there. The fun part is if you're creative and come here and learn what you need you can easily replicate it at home with friends. The instructor was ok on the instruction side and amazing with everything else. I'm a teacher and I usually walk around and help or offer other methods. This one just told us pretty much what was on the pamphlet. I would have liked more engagement but it's fine we all made some good lamps. Overall the experience was fun, the tea was delicious and we had a good time making our lamps then drinks being them at home read more

Great for couples, families or solo! I did the short table lamp on a Sunday afternoon, but there are about 10 variations you can pick from. I feel like I got my moneys worth for $80. The instructions were easy to follow, and this was a very relaxing process. The artist gave tips and suggestions on how to make it the best looking piece possible. The Turkish delight served contains nuts, so I couldn't partake but the Tea was DELISH. I highly recommend this experience and I will likely be back. read more

This was a fantastic experience for me and my mom! The instructions were clear, staff very nice, and the selection of different items you could create was vast! I came here during a Black Friday 50% sale - otherwise, I do think that it would've been pretty pricey! Glad that I was able to snag that deal! The staff also served complimentary non-caffeinated tea and non dairy treats! There was also a little shop with lots of options to choose from if you wanted to take home something else! read more

My friend and I took the Turkish mosaic lamp class in Denver and it was so fun! The instructor came around often and gave individual support during the process. They set you up for success with patterns and a wide selection of colors to choose from. They all came out beautiful and you leave with everything you need to finish your lamp and set it up at home. The only thing that I would recommend is better instructions on how to get to the downtown Denver location. The conference room was hard to find. I also think the classes are a bit pricey but overall it was a fun experience! read more

The atmosphere/ambience was very relaxing. There is more than enough time to complete your crafts. Although there are multiple stations, we decided to create a mini Turkish lamp to add to our collections of lamps from Türkiye. Naz was our teacher and she was very kind and thorough. She even brought us Apple Tea in the middle as a nice treat. She helped and answered our multiple questions. It is pricey, but I think it's worth it! Especially since there's a little Turkish market inside too. Definitely gonna recommend this to my crafty cousins and siblings and friends for a fun activity! read more

my boyfriend recently booked a session for us to celebrate my birthday; even though they seem to be best known for their turkish mosaic lamps and ceramic painted bowls, we actually booked the flower decoration/terrarium! i am not typically the most artistic person, but the environment was so much fun and there was such a wide selection of decorations for you to choose from, it was hard to not be inspired. we were the only ones doing the flower decoration, while the instructor was primarily helping the other groups with their paintings and lamps, but pinar took care to ensure she still helped with any questions we had! the experience overall was about 2 hours, but it truly flew by. we were even offered turkish delights and tea during the experience, which was so sweet to try! all this to say, it was a fantastic experience and i'm so happy with my new moon terrarium. i can't wait to come back to make more crafts! read more

The room is comfortable and everyone on the staff is nice and very helpful. Also the other people in the class were friendly. There was music playing and it was a nice vibe! While it is pretty expensive, I thought it was well worth it to enjoy this time with my friend and to be able to take the lamp home! Would 100% recommend to anyone. read more

I visited Turkey 4 years ago and regretted not getting a Turkish lamp while I was there. It was my first Country on a long trip and I just didn't want to carry it for weeks. Fast forward to an opportunity to make my own lamp locally. Umm, yes, please! Could I have bought the lamp cheaper on my vacation, yes....but, making my own design, priceless. Everything was flawless from purchasing a ticket to the class, instructions, assembly and finishing the process at home once everything dries. Fun experience! Very organized. Clear instructions and given 1 step at a time. Tea and Turkish delight was the perfect treat while we were working. Best part, I loved not being rushed. We were there about 2 and 1/2 hours which went by very fast. I absolutely love the lamp I made. It was definitely worth the price paid for the experience. They have been open about a year and a half and deserve the support. Clean facility, friendly staff and easy parking. read more

It's disappointing but not surprising to receive such a defensive and misleading response instead…read moreof any reflection or accountability. Since you have chosen to publicly distort the situation, I will clarify the facts. First, my child is four years old--a preschooler--attending a class that was marketed as creative and supportive. Instead, your rigid, one-size-fits-all approach left no room for individual learning styles or self-expression. The lack of patience and understanding was evident from the start. Second, the way you describe my child's actions is exaggerated and unfair. Saying "no" is a normal response for a young child in a new environment. Spilling water--whether accidental or not--is also normal for this age group. As for the sharpie cap incident, rather than offering guidance or redirection, your immediate response was removal and exclusion. That's not teaching--it's intolerance. Most troubling is your complete lack of awareness or inclusivity for neurodiverse children. The fact that you frame basic preschooler behaviors as "behavioral issues" and immediately resort to expulsion rather than understanding speaks volumes. You've made it clear that children who don't fit your narrow mold aren't welcome. Rather than addressing the real issue--your rigid, exclusionary practices--you've chosen to defend discrimination under the guise of "student safety." The only thing unsafe here is an environment where a young child is treated like a problem instead of a learner. Parents deserve to know the truth: Fibo is NOT a welcoming place for all children. If you expect kids to be robotic and silent, just say so--don't pretend to offer a creative and nurturing experience. Shame on you for doubling down instead of doing better.

Complex technicals were explained in layman's terms. We were given enough clay to create 3 pieces but could keep up to two. The instructor also frequently went around to check everyone's pieces and was able to troubleshoot as needed. It was a fun experience but be very prepared to get your hands dirty! The glazing portion was separate from the class. There was no reservation needed for that so I did it the same day that I went to see the ceramics. For parking, street parking could be hit or miss depending on the time. I'd recommend coming early to have ample time to find parking. Overall, I enjoyed the experience enough. It could have been perfect if the staff here remembered to follow up on when the ceramics were ready for pickup. I am happy with the end result though.

Please know how deeply appreciated you all are, not just for yesterday, but for everything you pour into these children throughout the year. You don't just teach them; you help them grow into kind, capable, and confident little people. Yesterday was a beautiful reflection of that. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making this milestone so truly unforgettable. With warm gratitude, Happy Mama

Our experience with Irvine Montessori School has been good. From the front desk where Ms. Ruby and…read moreMs. Suzie manage parent interactions, to classroom teachers like Ms. Ana and Ms. Angie, the commitment to the children is evident. Our child has shown progress in language and social skills, and the staff puts clear effort into milestones like graduation ceremonies and holiday events. The campus itself is clean and modern. This is definitely one of the top 10 Montessori schools in Orange County. Refine a few operational details, and they have the potential to easily break into the top 5. Areas for Improvement: Teacher rotation does cause disruption in student learning. While staffing shifts are common, the school needs to do a better job of getting ahead of these rotations and being proactive about the transitions. Furthermore, the administration should establish a structured, year-round channel for parental feedback. While daily communication from individual teachers is fine, an administrative feedback loop like bi-annual parent surveys would allow families to share insights on scheduling logistics, administrative clarity, or classroom dynamics. It remains a solid option for families in Irvine, and showing better foresight regarding teacher transitions and structured parent communication will help them reach that next level.

As first-time daycare parents, we were very nervous about starting daycare, but the experience has…read moreexceeded our expectations. Even after just a few days, our little one has adjusted so much better than we imagined. The owner and staff have been patient, caring, and supportive during the transition. We were honestly amazed that he was able to nap in a sleeping bag alongside the other children, especially since he normally has a very specific routine at home. It almost felt like magic! We know it's still early, but we're so grateful for the care, attention, and reassurance we've received. It's such a relief to see our child feeling comfortable, safe, and excited to go to daycare.

Elle and Azie made the transition to daycare so seamless and provided an abundance of updates about our son's progression to make us completely comfortable. We love the daily updates of the activities that they work on - the crafts are the cutest and really show intention in what the class is learning everyday. The activities are all rooted in some type of development and we love seeing all of the creativity that goes into making each day different and fun. Our son loves outdoor play and the playground set up is really great. Plenty of space and age appropriate toys outside to release his wiggles during their outdoor time. We are truly so fortunate to have found someplace as special as Little Angels! The entire staff takes health and safety seriously and we appreciate all of the coordination and attention to detail. We are so thankful and look forward to bringing our daughter to Little Angels to join our son in the future!

A few friends/neighbors also recommended Blue Buoy. Great communication from the start.

Their instructors are patient and kind and make my girls feel comfortable and safe in the water.

I cannot say enough good things about Blue Buoy Swim School! After a really negative experience at…read moreanother swim program (Aquatots), my daughter was left scared and resistant to getting in the water. A friend recommended Blue Buoy, and I am SO glad we gave it a try. From the very first trial class with Coach Turner, my daughter felt comfortable and safe. She usually hates putting her head in the water, but with his gentle guidance and encouragement, she did it without hesitation--something I never thought I'd see so soon! We've now been coming for 2 months, and the progress she has made is incredible. Not only has her confidence grown, but her skills in the water have improved so much. The staff is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about the kids. The environment feels warm and supportive, which makes all the difference. Coach turner really knows how to work with the kiddos ! If you're looking for a swim school that builds trust, confidence, and real results, Blue Buoy is the place to go. I'm so thankful we found them!

We had our free trial class with Chris last week and I was so pleased with how friendly, soft-spoken, and patient he was with my son. My son didn't even want to go into the water for the first 10 min of the 30 min class, and Chris just continued to ask if he was ready, all the while still holding lesson and staying attentive to the other child who was in the same class. Eventually, my kiddo felt confident enough to join in and by the end of the session he was having an absolute blast. We are looking forward to continuing our swim journey here with this crew!

The instructors are great but the techniques and length of swim time aren't very helpful. I called to cancel my lesson on September 2nd because I didn't feel I was learning anything but they said I was supposed to call by the 25th of August to cancel. Although apparently it's in the policy I am miffed that they won't refund me the money because I was a couple days late even though hadn't used their time yet. Long story short not a good place for adults to learn how to swim and their policies are outdated IMO. @Jen B Six classes and I still don't know how to swim a credit to a place where I haven't learned much seems useless. A suggestion for you to help everyone is to send a reminder email letting the customer know that renewal is coming so they can reply letting you know they won't be renewing. Thank you

I really wanted to love this lamp-making class in Tustin. Sadly, the reality fell far short of expectations. The biggest issue was the complete lack of clear instructions. We were given brief, almost dismissive, explanations, and then left to our own devices. The staff didn't circulate to offer help or answer questions, leaving everyone feeling confused and a bit abandoned. It felt less like a class and more like a self-guided project with minimal guidance, which you could easily do at home with a kit. The rush was another major problem. Designing a lamp takes time and thought, but we felt pressured to finalize our designs quickly. This made the whole experience stressful rather than enjoyable. The "snacks" provided were also a huge disappointment - a couple of tiny mochi pieces on toothpicks and lukewarm Kool-Aid in paper cups. It felt cheap and thoughtless. For the price of the class, I expected a much better experience. I'd recommend looking elsewhere if you're hoping for a structured and enjoyable lamp-making experience. PS, fix your bathrooms, can't use it for 2.5 hours read more

I attended Denvers mosaic lamp class and the instructors were terrible and had no idea what they were doing. They didnt explain anything (what tiles are see through, how close together you should put the tiles, bead placement) so it ended up looking like a 4 year old made it. They also had no background music which was awkward. The class stated we would get turkish snacks and tea, we each got literally one 1/2 inch square of a turkish delight and a paper cup of watered down apple tea. Would not recommend at all because the instructors ruined the class. read more

I had an incredible experience at this Turkish lamp-making shop! The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the intricate, hand-crafted lamps were absolutely stunning. The highlight of my visit was the exceptional service from Devran. She was so patient and knowledgeable, guiding me through every step of the lamp-making process with genuine care. Her passion for her craft shone through, making the experience even more enjoyable. I left with a beautiful, personalized lamp and wonderful memories of Devran's kindness and expertise. Highly recommended! read more
