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 Swindon and create your own stunning traditional Turkish mosaic lamp. You will learn the time-honoured technique of how to piece together vibrant hand-cut glass and decorative beads, crafting an illuminated piece to bring warmth and character to your home.
This welcoming activity is perfect for all skill levels. Whether you are drawn to classic Turkish patterns or wish to express your own vision, your experienced instructor will guide you every step of the way, making it an ideal learning experience for beginners. You'll create in our authentically decorated studio, where Turkish music and traditional hospitality, including aromatic tea and delicate rose delight, offer a truly cultural journey.
In this workshop, you will:
  • Select your design and learn the careful art of arranging glass pieces and beads.
  • Enjoy Turkish customs and refreshments whilst you craft your unique lamp.
  • Receive clear instructions for the final grouting steps to complete at home.
This enriching workshop is more than a creative outlet; it’s an opportunity to experience Turkish culture meaningfully. You will leave with an heirloom-quality lamp, which, after 48 hours of drying and your application of the provided grout at home, becomes a captivating piece of functional art.
Please note:
  • The base ticket price is to make a candle holder. You can select different projects at checkout under the 'Add-Ons' menu.
  • All the lamps are equipped with electricity and they come with a wired in UK plug. We also provide energy-efficient LED bulbs with lamps
  • If you wish to make one lamp between two people, you can also select the 'Additional person' addon.
  • The duration varies based on the specific project, typically falling between 2 to 3 hours.

  • 5/5 from Charles McCausland, attended Aug 2026: We loved our class. 4 friends who were looking for something different to do to spend some quality time together. We all had such a great time. A very relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Good fun and good instruction...friendly, knowledgeable but not overwhelming. I'm not a craft person at all, but this was such a fun way to spend a few hours. Thank you Ethan.
  • 5/5 from Kerry Barrass, attended Mar 2026: Fabulous few hours!! Such a wonderful and professional setup, engaging but friendly teacher. Wonderful process that has resulted in a delightful table lamp. Spent a few hours with my sister but also chatted with others met at the class. Turkish tea and delight - really lovely spot of refreshments. Looking forward to finishing off the grouting and putting pride of place in my house. Huge thank you for a wonderful class.
