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!

What Happens at the London Workshop
From the moment you arrive, everything is set up and ready for you. Your instructor walks you through every stage — no rushing, no pressure, just a genuinely enjoyable couple of hours making something beautiful.

1Choose your lamp style Pick from a candle holder, mini table lamp, tall table lamp, swan lamp, or moon lamp — each one has its own character.
-
2Pick your colour palette Warm ambers and reds, cool blues and greens, deep jewel tones — every colour choice is yours, and your instructor is on hand if you're unsure.
-
3Place your glass and beads Using traditional Ottoman-inspired geometric and floral patterns, you place each piece of coloured glass and mosaic bead onto your frame by hand. It's slow, meditative, and genuinely satisfying.

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 by hand. 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?

Where the Magic Happens
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.
