Create your very own beautiful Turkish mosaic light in this fun and hands-on workshop in Clifton Village, Bristol!
Choose the design you would like to make when booking — from a mosaic candle holder and swan neck desk light to a mosaic table lamp or rechargeable lantern. You’ll then get creative and make your chosen piece from start to finish.
No previous experience is needed. Your experienced instructor will guide you through each step, helping you choose your colours, glass pieces and beads before showing you how to arrange them into your own mosaic design.
You can follow a beautiful traditional Turkish pattern inspired by the decorative arts of Türkiye and the Ottoman era, or let your imagination lead the way and create a design that is completely your own.
This is a relaxed and enjoyable experience where you can get creative, learn a little about the history and artistic traditions behind Turkish mosaic art, and enjoy the warm hospitality of Türkiye along the way.
While working on your mosaic, you’ll be treated to Turkish Delight and Baklava, with a choice of traditional Turkish tea or hot sand-brewed Turkish coffee.
The best part? You don’t just take part in the experience — you take home the mosaic light you chose and made yourself. Every piece is unique, personal and handmade by you.
Whether you’re looking for a creative activity with friends, a unique date experience, a memorable family activity or simply something different to do in Bristol, come and discover the colourful world of Turkish mosaic art in the heart of Clifton Village.

Sheri’s Ottoman Emporium A Taste of Culture in Clifton Village
For the past three years, Sheri’s Ottoman Emporium has been part of the Clifton Village community, bringing a genuine taste of Türkiye to Bristol. From the moment I opened the doors, the response from the local community has been incredibly special. What began as a Turkish shop has grown into a place where people can discover, experience and connect with Turkish culture.
Our motto is “Taste of Culture” and that is exactly what we aim to create.
Located in the heart of historic Clifton Village, Sheri’s Ottoman Emporium is more than a shop. Step inside and you’ll find yourself surrounded by colourful Turkish mosaic lights, handpicked ceramics, traditional designs and beautiful pieces inspired by the rich artistic heritage of Türkiye and the Ottoman era. Every detail has been carefully chosen to create the feeling of stepping into a little corner of Türkiye inspired by the atmosphere of places such as Istanbul’s famous Grand Bazaar.
Authenticity is at the heart of everything we do. Guests can experience hot sand-brewed Turkish coffee, traditional Turkish tea, real gelatin-free Turkish delight and freshly made homemade baklava, while discovering beautifully crafted pieces inspired by centuries of Turkish and Ottoman design.
Our connection to Turkish mosaic art is also deeply personal. Mosaic light-making has been passed down through our family for three generations, and we are proud to continue this tradition by sharing the craft with our guests.
That is why our workshops are designed to be more than simply making a beautiful lamp. Guests get the chance to create their own Turkish mosaic light, learn traditional techniques, explore Turkish and Ottoman-inspired patterns, and experience the culture behind the craft. From choosing colourful glass and beads to creating their own design, every guest becomes part of the creative process and leaves with something they have made themselves.
We also welcome birthdays, hen parties, celebrations, private groups and corporate experiences, bringing our Turkish-inspired atmosphere and hands-on creativity to special occasions.
At Sheri’s Ottoman Emporium, we believe culture is best experienced rather than simply explained. Whether you come for a workshop, Turkish coffee, beautiful ceramics or simply to discover something new, our aim is to make you feel as though you have stepped into a small piece of Türkiye right here in Clifton Village.
Come for the craft. Stay for the culture. Leave with a Taste of Türkiye.
