What a great way to learn a new craft. The two instructors, Devran & Elif, were so helpful and filled with positive energy. The mosaic lamp turned out great, I may be coming back for another class!

A memorable experience
Who Is This Workshop For?
Honestly? Everyone. We've welcomed solo visitors looking for a mindful afternoon, couples on a proper date night, friends celebrating birthdays, mums-to-be at baby showers, and groups of hens who wanted something a bit more creative than a standard night out. Whatever brings you through the door, you'll leave with a lamp you made yourself and a session you'll actually remember.
If you're looking for a creative workshop in Newcastle that's relaxed, social, and produces something genuinely beautiful — this is it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not at all. This workshop is designed from the ground up for complete beginners. Our instructors walk you through every single step — from choosing your colours to finishing the grout. If you've never done anything like this before, you're exactly who we made this for.
Most participants finish their lamp in 2 to 2.5 hours. The exact time depends on the lamp style you choose and how much time you spend on your design — some people like to take their time and enjoy the process, and that's absolutely fine.
You can choose from five styles: a candle holder, mini table lamp, tall table lamp, swan lamp, or moon lamp. Each has a different size and level of detail. Our instructors can help you pick the right one based on your experience level and how much time you have. See our FAQ page for more details.
Nothing at all — just yourself. All materials, tools, adhesive, grout, and guidance are fully included in the price. We'd suggest wearing something you don't mind getting a tiny bit of glue on, though we do provide aprons.

A Turkish mosaic lamp is a handmade decorative light made by placing coloured glass pieces, beads, and mirror fragments onto a metal or resin frame. Originating from Ottoman Empire craft traditions in Istanbul, they're known for their warm, jewel-like glow and intricate geometric patterns. Want to learn more?

How the Workshop Unfolds
-
Step 1. Choose Your Colours & Pattern
Begin by exploring colour combinations, glass pieces, and geometric templates. You’ll choose the style that feels most like you and plan the overall look of your lamp before you start placing each piece.
-
Step 2. Learn the Technique
Our instructors guide you through the essentials of traditional mosaic lamp making, including how to work with the template, position the tesserae, and build a balanced pattern with confidence. No prior experience is needed.
-
Step 3: Build Your Lamp Piece by Piece
Once your design is ready, you’ll carefully assemble your mosaic using glass pieces and beads, step by step. This is the most immersive part of the experience — calm, hands-on, and deeply satisfying as your lamp begins to take shape.
-
Step 4: Finish, Celebrate & Take It Home
By the end of the session, you’ll leave with your own handmade mosaic lamp and a piece that reflects your personal style. Along the way, you’ll enjoy a warm, social atmosphere with Turkish tea and treats served during the workshop.
