It was awesome to experiene this local craft. I had so much fun doing it and Suleymen was a positive teacher. He helped both with the design and the technique. Circles might not be the smartest option for a first time but hey where is the fun when not challenge yourself and see what comes out :-) It pleasently surprised me. Afterwards when I was looking around and thinking about what to buy as gifts he came with the idea to design my own copper coffee cup holders (oi I forgot how it is called). So we came up with two designs and as a result I have unique presents for home made by a local artist. Absolutely recommended to do this!

This experience my partner and I did was amazing! I highly recommend doing this tour and craft, it’s something unique I wouldn’t be able to do back home. Sulejmen was super helpful, experienced and lovely we had a great time with his guidance and learnt a lot more about the Bosnian art, architecture and unique things about Bosnia and Herzegovina!
This is a must do in Bosnia and Herzegovina!!!

The artisan is patient and is bringing 21st century design to an old craft. He provides numerous designs and ideas that can be accomplished easily in time provided. Tour company gives a brief but informative tour of art and architecture before workshop. He has inspired me to build skill in this craft when I return home. My art piece is a great memory of trip and experience in his workshop.

I and two other exchange students here in Sarajevo came across this workshop and learned a lot about the traditional artisans. We spent about 3 hours with our skilled teacher, Suleymen, learning how to make a souvenir of our choice. He was very entertaining and figured out ways for all of us to realize our design ideas. The earrings I made will be very dear memories of my time in Sarajevo, and hopefully I can bring my mother to try the workshop as well when she makes it here.

Learning about how crafts were made in the old days is interesting but actually learning how to do it is even better. Highly recommend this tour.
