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!

No craft experience needed. No artistic talent required. Just a couple of hours and a willingness to make something beautiful.

What Happens at the Birmingham Workshop
From the moment you arrive, everything is set up and ready for you. Your instructor walks you through each stage — no guesswork, no pressure, just a really enjoyable session at your own pace.
-
1Choose your lamp style Pick from a candle holder, mini table lamp, tall table lamp, swan lamp, or moon lamp — each with its own character and size.
-
2Pick your colour palette Warm ambers and reds, deep jewel tones, cool blues and greens — the choice is completely yours. Your instructor can help if you're stuck.
-
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. Most people find this part genuinely meditative.
-
4Grout and finish We guide you through the finishing stage so your lamp looks clean, polished, and properly handmade — not homemade in a bad way.
-

None at all. This workshop is built for complete beginners. Our instructors walk you through every step — from choosing your colours to applying the final grout. If you've never done anything like this before, you're exactly who this workshop is made for.
Most participants finish their lamp in 2 to 2.5 hours. It depends slightly on the style you choose and how much time you want to spend on your design. There's no rush — take it at your own pace.
You can choose from five styles: candle holder, mini table lamp, tall table lamp, swan lamp, or moon lamp. Your instructor will help you pick the right one. See our FAQ page for more detail on each style.
Nothing — all materials, tools, adhesive, grout, and guidance are fully included in the price. We provide aprons, but feel free to wear something you don't mind getting a tiny bit of glue on just in case.
Absolutely. We love group bookings — hen parties, birthday groups, corporate away-days, baby showers, and more. Head to our group workshops page or drop us a message and we'll sort everything out for you.
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 stunning warm glow and intricate geometric patterns. Want the full story?

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.
