Super cool kit and the whole team loved the activity. Everything arrived on time and was well packaged, which can be tough for glass and plants!

Joseph Owens Mar 2024


It was a great experience, very calming and relaxing. I also wasn't expecting to learn so much about the science and history of terrariums, which was an added bonus.

Olivia Zhang Mar 2024


Easy and clear instructions on the making video! I enjoyed making the plant myself a lot

Svetlana Umansky Mar 2024


This class was an amazing experience. We had a group of 12 coworkers and we all had a great time. The teacher was very diligent and explained everything perfectly. She was so sweet and patient. The work itself was absolutely stunning. Everyone had a beautiful finished product that they loved. Overall, this experience is worth it and I recommend for everyone to try it.

This was one of the most fun culture-building activities I've attended! I loved getting to create a unique piece of art. The instructor had a super calming presence and gave us a ton of insight throughout the process. The kits were filled with all kinds of goodies that were high-quality to ensure this was a great experience. It was definitely something to remember!

Terrarium class review by Jordan Golemo

Lisa Garcia Mar 2024


Purchased as a gift for my partner, this terrarium-making class met all expectations! The setting was intimate, clean & organized, and the the supplies were excellent quality. On top of that, the instructors were so pleasant and helpful throughout the class. Working with your hands and building something to take care of is so rewarding. Both my partner and I came out of this class happy with what we made and would highly recommend this class!

Jill Hurson Mar 2024


This was my first class with ClassBento and I couldn't be happier! Nurullah was a great facilitator - informed, clear, flexible, and very calming (which was nice for this class specifically). The kit was EXCELLENTLY designed - super thoughtful and easy to set up, go through, and clean up. And the end product felt like way more than the sum of its parts.

I bought this class as a gift to my boyfriend's mom for us to do together and she was truly delighted. Would absolutely recommend!

Katherine Hannah Feb 2024


our instructor created a very easy going environment, our instructor was very patient and helpful throughout the class and totally allowed us to enjoy each other's company without forcing us to pay attention or be silent

Nico Raddatz Feb 2024


Attending the Terrarium Making Class was a delightful and engaging experience for both my wife and me. Set in a cozy, well-lit room, the class size was intimate, with about 12 participants, fostering a warm and friendly atmosphere conducive to creativity and interaction. The instructor was knowledgeable and passionate, offering personalized guidance to each attendee, which made the learning process both enjoyable and educational.

Masahiro Takakura Feb 2024


The teacher, Nur was great. His instruction was clear and gave us a lot of ideas and made sure to observe our resin jewelry while we were making them. We had so much fun! Thank you so so much for the great class. We definitely recommend to take this class to our family and friends.

Very fun and enjoyable activity! It was nice to have all the materials provided and to take something home I can display.

Ayu Wages Feb 2024


We had so much fun as a team in person! Our teacher Nancy was very flexible and informative provided some extra colored tiles for us to play with, some extra tips and design options for us. We were all happy with our designs. Also those Baklavas were top notch! Would recommend anyone who is looking for fun activity with take home souvenir in few hours.

Ariyada Vadasz Feb 2024


Open communication and was easy to book. The Turkish delight paired well with the coffee.

The host was super charming and we had fun making our pieces. I wish the kits came with some more neutral options, maybe some dried flowers? but otherwise this was lots of fun

Alejandra Feb 2024


It was a great time! We were able to create fun and cute mini pieces of art!

Isabelle Malland Feb 2024


Such a great class! I had to move my original date and they were so accommodating! The instructor was amazing and very informative in showing how to create the lamps. The whole experience was so much fun! At the end she even went around and took photos of everyone with their finished product! The lamps turned out beautifully! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to do something fun!

Thuy Newin Jan 2024


Nisa was such a great host. She went over each step of this class with us. She was very personable and made the experience very enjoyable for our group.

Catherine (Lee Rogers) Lee Jan 2024


It had a lot of sharing about personal experiences rather than more instruction.

Jenny Bent Jan 2024


This was a really fun class. the teacher was great and I got to make two little terrariums! Loved it.

Melissa Soverall Jan 2024


It was a good class. I’d like to suggest smaller tables set up by the width of the room so people can have more room to work.

Kristen Burrall Jan 2024

Very fun and informative. Spent hours after the class making more! Plan to continue. Thanks Nur

Beth Marnix Jan 2024


Our team Celebrated 2023 by building Terrariums! Our team is spread out in different states and the ability to have each individual receive their kit shipped directly to them is invaluable. The kits are beautiful - well packaged and excellent materials. Nur provided a great learning experience. Our team loved the experience and sharing their terrariums with each other.

Sandra Hemans Jan 2024


The class is super unique and fun, I had a few friends come celebrate my birthday there I would definitely recommend it.

Michelle Henry Jan 2024


I liked how attentive she was. But possibbly
Bigger tables and some aprons would be nice.

Paz Ah Young Jan 2024


I had a lot of fun doing this Make String Art class with Nur! He was very patient and provided clear instructions on what to do throughout the class. I’m a total beginner and he gave lots of tips along the way, and at the end of it, I have a beautiful flower arrangement decoration to keep!

Thank you for an enjoyable experience

Nurullah was a great instructor. He was engaging and kept the class relaxing, which was nice. He was helpful in answering our questions and leading us through the terrarium build.

great to learn about the history as well as the culture, and try some delicious coffee and treats

Brandon Sabado Jan 2024


The class was fun and unique. Nur was friendly and very knowledgeable. We loved that he showed us all of his mushroom terrariums and insights how to grow them. We also really appreciated his dual camera setup with one at a face-level view and one at a top down view of the terrarium workspace so we could easily see each step of the process.

Shira Lee Katz Jan 2024


Excellent teacher and easy to build terrariums. The Wardian Case was beautifully designed and mine is sitting in my study next to all my favorite items.

Christina Layton Jan 2024


Nurullah is an incredible teacher and guide! The family that took the course with him (a gift) absolutely loved the experience with Nur and now have 3 beautiful terrariums! If you are looking for someone who is extremely knowledgeable, kind and charming, a wonderful generous guide and an incredible being you must choose Nur. He is excellent with people from all backgrounds and all ages. I highly recommend Nur and any of the classes that he offers ❤️

Anthony d'Aprile Jan 2024


Nurullah was an amazing host. The activity was a lot of fun, but the conversation was even better. He shared so much about his Heritage and his World travels. Truly inspiring!

I know the candle holder will catch the attention of many of my future guests. Thanks to Nurullah, I have a great memory and a great story to go along with it.

Cynthia Deitle Jan 2024


The instructor was engaging and shared very clear instructions. I would recommend him to others.

Josh Riman Jan 2024


Nurullah was everything we could ask for in a teacher. He was great at keeping the conversation flowing and entertaining our team. We loved his stories and the way he kept us all engaged. Plus our candle holders are beautiful. We'd love to do another class with him at some point!

Christine Obiora Jan 2024


Overall great experience!The instructor shared a lot of interesting information about Turkish culture, his background, and his many travels across the US. We took this virtual class as a part of a company event, and everyone had a lot of fun!

Great and engaging class with a beautiful outcome. Definitely will display my lamp at home. Thank you Nurullah :)

Angela Agresto Jan 2024


Nurullah led a 19-person instructional class for my legal team January 2024 Virtual Activity and we loved the outcome. Everyone is impressed with how creative the lamp designs turned out, and even more impressive that we get to keep such a lovely reminder of our time together. Great job, Nur!

DIY Turkish Mosaic Lamp review by Sunitha Subramanian

Ann Tipton Francis Jan 2024


This was a great activity! Enjoyed learning interesting facts about Turkey while making the Turkish mosaic lamp.

Brooks Cutter Jan 2024


I booked this for a team of 11 and we all had a great time. Nur was great as a host, we had wonderful conversations and chatted throughout the event. And despite my being artistically challenged it came out great! I was also impressed with the time and thought Nur put into the kit he shipped to all the participants, I was expecting some off the shelf kit but he clearly put a lot of thought and love into the box design. Not only would I recommend this, I already have to others in my company!

PS: He has some great baklava recommendations!

Vera Wang Jan 2024


We loved the class! Nurullah is very skilled and knowledgeable about resin art. It was fun and the time went by so quickly.

Tori Pinheiro Jan 2024


Really enjoyed this workshop. The materials sent to us were very good quality, and resulted in a beautiful terrarium at the end. The host was engaging and knowledgeable. I particularly enjoyed learning some of the history of terrariums and the ecology/natural history of how small enclosed ecosystems work. Very worth the money here, and a great way to bond with remote teammates!

Debbi Nolan Dec 2023


Our family this as a group and included our brother from out of state. It was really fun and our terrariums are so cute. Nurullah was so kind and seemed to be really enjoying what he does as an instructor. The packaging for our kits were so nicely done.

Debbi Nolan Dec 2023


Wonderful teacher! Positive and informative. Really enjoyed the experience and came away with a want to do more.

Krystal Rath Dec 2023


This was the best YouTube and information to make this mosaic lamp. If it were a little bit less expensive, I’d make a whole bunch of these, but it was so fun.

My team loved building this magical case together! Simple and effective learning in a group setting. Thanks!

Heather Palmer Dec 2023


This was one of the best team events I've participated in. Our instructor was engaging and super knowledgeable about each layer of our terrarium. It was both educational and relaxing fun. The pace was perfect, the instructor was extremely attentive to our live questions and questions posted in the Zoom chat. I appreciated the instructor using two cameras to both show his face but also the steps for building our terrarium at the same time. I liked all the short stories that he shared as well. It was a great time with my team!

My team loved our Wardian Case Terrarium class with Nur. We had such a great time getting our hands dirty, learning a lot and making the sweetest terrariums. Nur was a fantastic host - so knowledgeable and passionate about terrariums. We really enjoyed his stories. Above and beyond, Nur was incredibly flexible (we had to change our date multiple times) and he was a pleasure to work with to coordinate the class. Can't recommend this one enough!

Terrarium class review by Blair Ghiringhelli

Troy Effner Dec 2023


The class was great. The instructor was quite informed, however, took up a lot of time trying to explain things. Maybe some more practice would help.

Eric Bailey Dec 2023


There was something meditative and familiar about building a little ecosystem. It provided me a much needed break from the day-to-day mechanics of meetings but also reminded me of the need to exercise care for the people around me.

Yanfei Chen Dec 2023


The instructor is very interactive during the class and also introduced a lot of Turkish cultures and food.

Sara Bayless da Costa Dec 2023


Such a blast! Loved learning about how to create a tiny ecosystem inside a wardian case. Nur was very knowledgeable about terrarium building, natural ecosystems, and telling stories. My terrarium makes me so happy. Thank you!

What an amazingly relaxing and beautiful class. Nur was a kind, knowledgeable, and very friendly teacher. I unfortunately had to join a bit late, but even so Nur very patiently and seamlessly caught me up to the rest of the class. I will be highly recommending this workshop to my friends.

Becky Blink Oct 2023


This workshop was AWESOME I would love to do this one again with a different lamp pattern. It was soooooo relaxing and Nur shared so many interesting things about his Turkish culture. I liked this workshop so much that I went online and purchased some DIY Turkish Lamp Kits for my family to do over the holidays. Absolutely loved it (Could have used a few more beads in my kit though).

Diana Barnes Oct 2023


Really enjoyed the class and LOVE my Turkish lamp. Nurullah was a great instructor and made the entire experience fun and enjoyable. His instructions were easy to follow and the way he incorporated lots of quiet work time helped make the entire activity relaxing. The addition of Turkish music and some sharing of Turkish culture really rounded out the class. I would not consider myself very artsy, but was easily able to complete this project successfully. Thanks for such a fun experience!

Nicole Nazari Oct 2023


Nur hosted 2 amazing classes for my very large Google global team and was incredible to work with! He was always very responsive, accommodating, kind, and knowledgable. I will definitely work with him again in the future. Thank you, Nur, for helping us create such beautiful memories and lamps!

I loved making this, and I also learned a lot about terrariums. I want to make more!

Jaci Garreans Sep 2023


Nur was a great instructor who explained the history of terrariums and reason why they are important still today. Gave great examples of what you can do with them and helped up with instructions every step of the way including answering off the wall questions. dI thoroughly enjoyed this time to relax and destress from work. The kit was wonderful with everything we would need including a cloth to keep my table clean, cute little mini tools, a tray for mixing soil, and a little misting bottle. The only thing I had to have on hand was some water for the plants. :)

Terrarium class review by Jaci Garreans

Carla Sep 2023


Nur's class was amazing! He gave a through history of terrariums and detailed instructions. We had a big group of over 60 people and he stayed at a speed everyone could follow. We would love to do another event with him in the future!

Constance Redmon Sep 2023


Nur had a very welcoming personality and introduced me to a lot creative options with resin. I was intimidated with the idea of using it, and Nur talked me through it and led me to feel more comfortable with it. I took this class as a gift from a friend, and I don't think I would have ever taken one on my own accord. I feel so much more excited with other ideas and to do projects with my child, now. Thank you, Nur!

Heather Garlo Sep 2023


I had a wonderful time doing the mini terrarium kit! The instructor was fun and engaging. He told us some really cool history facts about terrariums which made me more interested in doing more! My homeschool kids were very interested when I told them about what I had learned. We are now looking into doing one of the full size kits!
All in all this was a great kit for getting your toes wet. Deciding if this is something you are interested in doing.
Thank you Nar for your time and fun stories, I hope to see you again soon for more terrarium fun!

Ashli Merchant Sep 2023


I absolutely loved this class! The instructor provided us with the history of terrariums and information that I will remember forever. Experience with a great self care opportunity.

Our remote employee group had another GREAT class with Nur tonight. We did the resin jewelry class and everyone really enjoyed it. We all joked that we'd be quitting our day jobs to start our own Etsy shops to sell our creations :P
I'd definitely recommend Nur and this class.

The class was amazing - the best Class Bento we’ve participated in. Nur was knowledgeable and engaging. He’s passionate about the craft itself, and about creating a fun experience. He went above and beyond to make our class special. And, we’re super pleased with the lamps.

Rachel Jul 2023


So the review I was sent was for the lamp but we did terrariums. Nur was fantastic! I would recommend the class to anyone.

Nur did such a great class for our remote team. It was a fantastic way for our group to spend 90 mins, step away from work, and learn something new! Nur had soft music playing in the background, gave us a little history lesson and engaged with everyone really well. The shipped materials were great as well and all arrived on time. Looking forward to our next class with Nur

Nur was great! My team and I had so much fun building our terrariums together and getting great information and stories in the process. The terrarium is beautiful, I'm obsessed with mine, especially the cute little figures.

My team and I loved this experience! Nur was so engaging, patient & entertaining. We loved the stories he shared with us, the music he played throughout and his sense of humor. Even though it was virtually, Nur made us feel like he was right there with us. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who asked me.

The teacher was awesome! Very kind and knowledgable and funny. The materials provided were not only enough but of quality too, I had everything I needed to be successful and more. I learned about the plants we were working on and also the importance of how they are layered the way they are and how terrariums actually work.

Kat Watt Jun 2023


We love how our lamps turned out! Fun class and Nur was a great instructor

Soo Yim Jun 2023


Lovely event. Nur is very personable. Not only great coffee and turkish delight, but I learned more about the Turkish culture. I'm going to be looking at my fortune every time I drink Turkish Coffee. Provided excellent recommendations on products and shared his recommendation locally in San Francisco too. The dishes and cups were authentic. Really pleased that Nur is knowledgeable, personable and products were great quality.

It was a great class! I was the only participant so it was a private workshop. The teacher was quick to respond when there was a possibility my kit would arrive the day after our scheduled class and any other questions I had.

Daniel Saxe May 2023


Great class! I definitely learned all I needed to to be able to make stuff on my own and get creative. I asked the teacher if I could follow up after the class with any questions and he said "of course!" I've been making the jewelry on my own but haven't had one question which is a great sign that the class was thorough.

Great class! Nurullah was super friendly and responsive to any questions before and during the class (I took this class just an hour ago so no after questions yet). Resin jewelry came out nice :) I’d recommend and take this class again. I made quite a few during the class but this is my favorite. Thanks again!

The Turkish coffee workshop was fantastic, the instructor was an expert and provided valuable information. We were able to taste the final product with Turkish Delight. I would highly recommend it for any company looking for a unique team building activity. Thank you so much Nur & Chiara - we learned a lot and had a lot of fun. The coffee and Turkish delights were incredibly tasty and the kits are beautiful!

Mx Valentino Feb 2023


I booked this class for our entire department (close to 40 people) as a team bonding and relaxing event for the new year. We loved it! We received our kits super fast with everything we needed. Nur was very communicative to make sure everything measured up to our expectations. We had so much fun learning about the history of string art and talking about our artistic interests. He played relaxing music in the background which was a nice touch as well, and we had no tech issues - everything went very smoothly. The whole team loved the event and everyone is already asking if we can have Nur back for another class someday! And we only just finished this class earlier this morning. Thanks so much! I highly recommend this class.

Andrea Rule Feb 2023


Nurullah was a wonderful instructor! He explained the process thoroughly and we learned a lot about the process during our lesson. Not enough people signed up to attend the class so he ended up priority-shipping the materials and we met over Zoom.

I absolutely love how my lamp came out, you would never guess that I didn't know what I was doing! My friends and I will cherish these wonderful lamps as a lovely memory for years to come.

Jung Kim Dec 2022


Nur and Chiara were fantastic instructors and hosts for our corporate event! We had about 50 people (~30 in person, rest were geographically spread) and everyone on our team had a blast!

Nur shipped Turkish Delights / Turkish Chocolate to our non-local teams and brought us fresh Baklava, Turkish Delight, and some other Turkish treats while teaching us about the history of Turkish coffee. It was a super unique experience before leading into the Lamp Mosaic class.

100% would recommend and I've even got a few team members asking for a potential second round given they missed it! :)

Yunus Yildiz Nov 2022


This is a must do hand-craft experience. It was perfect from beginning to end. The kit that you will receive is organized very well. If you want some good quality workshop, you should not miss this one. Thanks Nurullah.

Aditi Deshpande Nov 2022


If you are looking for something fun and creative, this is it! not too long and not too short

Bridge Mellichamp Nov 2022


The class was good and an opportunity to engage in “craft” for my teammates. It would have been helpful if additional set up instructions had been included ahead of time (eg find a ventilated space which has access to an outlet, set up a covering for your area, etc). Would definitely do again or similar !

This was my first experience with Class Bento. I had the best time of my life to be honest. We were 3 with our super polite instructor. I enjoyed learning more about putting together a mosaic lamp with a good company. I had the luck to try nice Turkish coffee. I think I made good friends and on top learned how to make a lamp. I would love to bring more friends to this experience

Signed up my bestie and myself for this class as a birthday celebration. It was a lovely experience. Abdulkadir is a kind and gracious host who treated us as honored guests. He guided us through the mosaic process and worked on a lamp at the same time so we could see what to do before we did it ourselves. It was a Turkish cultural experience as he also played Turkish music while we worked and even treated us to a live performance of his own music. The class exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend it. Bestie and I are already planning to sign up for Abdulkadir’s terrarium class because this was so fun.

What a great experience I always wanted to have a Turkish mosaic lamp. I saw them when I went to Istanbul but did not have a chance to bring one. However, I booked this workshop and not only buy one and also I learned how to make it. I like swan model more than table one. They have same glass globe but I like swan model. This is a great way of learning detail of this art. If you are curious, don't miss this workshop and book it without hesitating.

This class was so relaxing and rewarding. The host, Nurullah, was kind, charming and informative. He played traditional Turkish music for us while we worked and explained the instruments and history. The lamps we made came out beautiful and it was wonderful to spend time with coworkers doing something non-work related.

Sarah Sep 2022


Nurullah's class was wonderful and relaxing! The traditional music, tea, and Turkish delights provided were a nice touch. I appreciated how personable and patient Nurullah was. He took time to get to know us and check on all of our progress. Would definitely recommend this class! My lamp looks beautiful at night. :)

Nurullah is a very patient, detail oriented teacher. I loved learning about the origins of Art String and Mosaic Lamps. Both classes are a lot of fun to do! He's also very friendly, and makes sure you experience a truly complete Turkish experience with treats, music and culture.
I was offered a very generous discount for my second class, which made me be fully immersed in the activity and stay present to enjoy it. Would definitely take another class soon!

That was the most unique online experience that I have ever joined. Product at the end is stunning. I have enjoyed a lot during this workshop. Nurullah such an amazing instructor. He knows all the detail of the mosaic lamp making. At first, I thought it might be little bit challenging. However, it is super easy and amazing satisfying. I highly recommend to everyone if you like handcrafting workshop. Don’t miss it and book it as soon as possible. Thanks Nurullah.

I look forward to take more classes from him.:)

Loved it! Learned about how to work with resin safely. The sea shells were so cute. I ordered glowing paint as well, which was complete new experience for me. I would never imagine that I could mix glowing materials with resin.

This session opened my mind about art and craft. I gained a new perspective. Thank you Nur.

It was amazing! I am very anxious so I was lowkey super anxious and the teacher was so sweet and patient! The class and the experience was delightful and it was my first experience with resin - even tho I am an artist. This will definitely improve my future arts as well. And the beach resin experience is gonna be a new little decor for my porch! <3 Love this website and will definitely be sharing this experience with loved ones. Is also a great gift. If you are into gifting experiences this is a nice one It comes with a complete set and if you get creative and have some artsy leftover tools you can use the leftover resin for something small too!

Bought the class for me and a friend to take and we had a great time. Nurullah is super personable and easy to work with and gave great, easy to follow instructions. We were super impressed with how our artwork turned out and loved the little add on seashells and little boat. I would totally do this class again. Would highly recommend as a fun night in with friends or family.

I had been wanting to learn how to work with resin and decided to take this class after taking another class by Nurullah‘s brother. I am so glad I did! This class did not disappoint! Nurullah made sure we were all able to follow along and he was able to explain the process perfectly. I will continue to work with resin and try different things because of this class. I would rate this more than 5 stars if I could! Strongly recommend!

The ocean epoxy on wood as an activity was outstanding. It was an excellent and rewarding experience. Nur is an inspiring individual. I always wanted to try epoxy but I had no idea how to start. It was super easy to follow. I got the kit delivered with everything I needed. I would never imagine that I would be able to do a beautiful artwork in a short time. He walked through the process and we have done it safely. Thank you for this beautiful experience. I feel my creative side came to surface. I will keep creating things!
