Ecem is a great host and artist - The abstract painting workshop with Ecem was a delightful dive into Istanbul's creative scene. It's rare to find such a hands-on experience where you can relax with a glass of wine and create art with recycled fabrics. A perfect way to discover local life and get to know a fantastic local artist!
