I was fortunate enough to be the only particpant on the date I attended, so had individual attention, which was a treat!
Ekim was very welcoming and showed me around the studio, including many examples of the type of project I would be doing (as well as a lot of the other gorgeous work she has done).
Ekim explained the project thoroughly and assisted when needed with design, colour choice etc.
The time flew by and my project is now drying, ready to be fired in the kiln - I can't wait to collect it next week!
This is a lovely, relaxing class in a beautiful, inspiring studio. You won't be disappointed if you try it out.
Teacher's response
Thank you so much, Karen! It was an absolute pleasure having you in the studio. I'm so glad you enjoyed the class and had a relaxing, creative time. I can't wait for you to see your finished piece—it's going to look amazing! They are in the kiln right now super excited!!! Looking forward to welcoming you back anytime. "

I took a glass painting workshop and had a fantastic time! They provided an incredible range of colors and plenty of beautiful examples to draw inspiration from. Their unique technique for painting and fusing glass is definitely worth trying. I’ll definitely be going back for more.

The class was very enjoyable and fun! The time seemed to fly by even in times we needed to wait until the paint dried!
The teachers were amazing and so helpful. I found out have zero talent when it comes to drawing/painting and we came up with an idea to try that meant I wouldn’t need to try using a paint brush to draw (it did mean I didn’t use any of the stencils made that were absolutely gorgeous though!). I am VERY excited to see how it turns out!
Loved hearing about the history of the gallery and business and seeing all the different pieces (including those being worked on currently).
Was super easy to book using a gift card with the number of sessions available to choose from.
I definitely recommend a visit and trying a class - might need to practice my lines so I can try one of the beautiful stencils next time!
No photos at the moment as the piece hasn’t been fired yet but hopefully I’ll be able to add them later on.
Teacher's response
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your visit and for taking the time to share your thoughts. As our very first customer, you hold a truly special place in our journey, and welcoming you was an unforgettable moment for us!
We were so excited to have you that we completely forgot to take photos and connect with you properly. but that just means we have something to look forward to when you return next Monday! We can’t wait to capture those moments and celebrate your beautiful work together.
Your honest feedback is deeply appreciated, and we take it to heart as we grow and improve. More than anything, we want every visitor to feel happy and inspired in our space. Thank you for being part of our beginning—we can't wait to see you again soon!

We had the most amazing class at Camdal Atelier over the weekend. I booked a private class for my partners birthday and she had the best time. Ekim was so knowledgeable and very passionate about all styles of glass art it was so fascinating to listen to. It was quite a relaxing class and I had so much fun painting my own design. We can’t wait to do more classes with Camdal Atelier when they become available. It’s a new venue but I highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique art class in Melbourne. I look forward to picking up my piece when it’s ready. Thanks so much again for a great class Ekim!
Teacher's response
Thank you so much for your kind words, Tiffany! We are thrilled that you and your partner had such a fantastic time Camdal Atelier during the private class. Hopping to see you in the future :)

My son and I had a most enjoyable afternoon learning to create a beautiful artwork combining painting and fused glass. Our teacher was very informative, and patiently guided us through the process.
We would highly recommend this activity to everyone. The attached studio/gallery is beautiful.

Ekim is a friendly and patient teacher, who will explain each step clearly and assists you at every stage of your creation. Her studio is located in a beautiful gallery and it was very inspiring being surrounded by Ekim's artwork. I had spent a bit of time admiring the colours and detail she captures in her artwork. Definitely worth a visit to see her unique glass creations. This glass art class is beginner friendly and was such a fun way to express myself and explore colour. I highly recommend this experience.
I will return in future to explore this medium further.
Teacher's response
Thank you so much Jenny it was really nice to meet you looking forward to see you again

The glass studio is well worth a visit because it is a beautiful art gallery - in terms of parking there is a lot of one hour street parking so drive a short distance behind the gallery and you'll find unlimited street parking. It was unexpected that the workshop ran for one attendee, and I had one to one tuition which I don't think would happen with any other workshop provider. My teacher was extremely helpful, attentive making me a teapot of tea of my choice (!) and interesting to talk to, giving me an insight into Turkish culture. It's a new workshop and I don't see any other workshop providers offering what they do so I'd encourage people to attend. By the way the photo of my fish isn't the finished piece because it has not been fired in the kiln yet.

This is the second fish I've made at Camdal Artelier and I enjoy the process more now I am more familiar with what I'm doing. I am really delighted with the result, Ekim is a very knowledgeable, patient and supportive teacher. I would really recommend this class, as well as visiting the store to purchase glass art for your home.
