Deciding on Colours and Design

Deciding on Colours and Design

Choose your preferred colour palette and sketch a rough layout of the pattern you want to create. This helps guide the placement of each glass piece during the crafting process.


Transferring the Pattern Onto Glass

Transferring the Pattern Onto Glass

Apply glue to the clear glass surface and carefully transfer the mosaic pieces from the paper design onto the glass one by one. Follow the pattern closely to keep the layout accurate and consistent


Beading the Glass

Beading the Glass

After placing the main mosaic tiles, fill the remaining empty spaces with small glass beads. This step requires patience and attention to detail, as the beads need to be placed closely and evenly to create a smooth, complete surface.


Grouting the Gaps

Grouting the Gaps

Using the grout set provided, follow the instructions in our tutorial videos to apply the grout between the beads and mosaics. After grouting, make sure to clean the surface within 20–30 minutes — otherwise you might end up with a solid stone instead of a lamp! 😅


Join this immersive mosaic workshop in Cambridge to create a stunning traditional Turkish mosaic lamp in an activity that celebrates both artistry and cultural heritage. You will learn the time-honoured technique of how to piece together hand-cut glass and decorative beads, crafting a beautiful illuminated piece that will bring warmth and character to any space.
Whether you're drawn to classic Turkish patterns or wish to express your own artistic vision, this workshop welcomes all skill levels. Your experienced instructor will guide you through each step of the process, making it perfectly accessible for complete beginners.
You'll be crafting in an authentically decorated studio, where the gentle notes of Turkish instrumental music create a serene atmosphere. As you work, you'll be treated to traditional Turkish hospitality – sipping aromatic tea and sampling delicate rose delight. The studio itself is part of the experience, featuring displays of musical instruments and traditional coffee-making implements, each with its own fascinating story.
Here's what you can expect from your session:
  • Arrive a few moments early to settle in and enjoy the atmospheric studio environment
  • Select your preferred design approach – traditional or contemporary
  • Learn the careful art of arranging glass pieces and beads to create your unique pattern
  • Experience Turkish customs and refreshments whilst crafting
  • Receive clear instruction on the final steps to complete at home
This enriching workshop is a wonderful opportunity to experience Turkish culture in a meaningful way, resulting in an heirloom-quality piece that will illuminate your home for years to come.
Please be aware that your creation will need 48 hours to dry. After this time, you'll apply the provided grout mixture at home, a crucial step that ensures your lamp becomes a lasting piece of functional art.
