Getting started

Meet your instructor at the meeting point, where the mosaic lamp-making workshop takes place.

With no experience needed and public transportation options nearby, you can focus fully on the hands-on session.

What to expect

Mosaic lamp workshop

You spend your time inside Turkey’s first and largest mosaic lamp workshop, learning traditional craftsmanship while designing a piece for your home. The atmosphere is set up for a creative, relaxing experience, suitable for all physical fitness levels and for anyone curious about Turkish culture.

Features

• Traditional craftsmanship is at the heart of the session, as your expert English or multilingual instructor explains how mosaic lamps fit into Turkish culture and guides you through each creative step.

• All materials for mosaic lamp making are provided at your table, from the lamp base to the mosaic pieces and adhesive, so you can focus on designing rather than sourcing supplies.

• As you work, you enjoy hot drinks and water, along with handmade baked cookies and freshly made Turkish delight, which are included as local snacks during the workshop.

Wrapping up

A handmade mosaic lamp to take home is the end result of your design and assembly, and it is carefully prepared for travel with protective packaging, including bubble wrap and paper, so it can safely leave the workshop with you.
