Ottoman-Inspired Creative Tile Painting Workshop

Join this Ottoman-inspired tile painting workshop and discover beautiful motifs, flowing floral patterns and timeless colours as you paint your own tile – a unique piece of art to take home. Settle in with a traditional Turkish tea or a hot, sand-brewed coffee, paired with Turkish delight and pistachio-layered baklava, as you get creative.Think of this less as a chance to create the perfect piece, and more as time to switch off, get creative and reconnect with yourself. There's real value in that too – slowing down to focus on colour, pattern and movement can quieten a busy mind, bring you into the present moment, and leave you with a lovely sense of achievement once your tile is complete. It's also a wonderful way to share an experience with the people you're with, whether that's a partner, friend or family member.Tile painting itself has a rich history, inspired by the intricate Iznik artwork of the Ottoman Empire. In the 16th century, the city of Iznik became famous for its hand-painted ceramic tiles, used to decorate mosques, palaces and grand buildings with intricate floral designs, flowing vines and geometric patterns.Come along, slow right down, and discover the beauty of this centuries-old art form for yourself – you'll leave with a handmade tile that carries a little of that same Ottoman spirit home with you. Guests can take their painted tile home and have a chance to try traditional Turkish tea, hot sand-brewed coffee, Turkish delight (GF, VG), and pistachio baklava, all included. Read more details
