“We booked this workshop for team building and everyone enjoyed this two-hour class! The instructor of Turkish Mosaic Lamp is responsive, friendly and definitely know how to teach and guide. The vibe is cozy and lighthearted. We had a fun day and took our very own masterpiece home.”
“We had the most fantastic time with Fati! This was such a fun and unique experience made richer by a very knowledgeable, patient, and creative teacher who even did a capstone thesis on the history and art of mosaic lamps and created them himself! And you end up with beautiful lamps to take home. My only wish was more color options, but understandably that wasn’t possible at this time. I recommend this to individuals, couples, families with older children, and really anyone :)
You get in and are welcomed by the teacher, either Nusrullah or Fati, who are from Turkey and are well-versed in mosaic lamps. They’ll set you up with their kits that they make themselves and after some instruction, you’re free to design based on your own imagination. There’s water provided and bathroom access. It really does take the two hours, so give yourself time and allow yourself to slow down and enjoy the pace. At the end, your instructor will help you set up your lamp to test it and ensure it works and you’re satisfied, you’ll take pictures, and he’ll help you take down and box up your lamp to take it home (I recommend bringing a large, flat bottomed tote). Then at home, you’ll plaster it according to the instructions and let it dry overnight before giving it a wash to bring out the tile work. All needed items, from plaster to tweezers to tiles to the lightbulb, are included.”
“At first I was a little nervous for my first workshop at this studio, but the host was amazing and made us feel super welcome! If you are looking for a relaxing fun arts & craft activity, I highly recommend.”
“My friend and I had our wonderful time making Turkish lamps. Our instructor was so personable, helpful, and made the class fun! I highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This class was so much fun and our teacher Fatih was incredible. We got stuck getting to the class and he was so lovely accommodating us. He made sure we still got individual instructions when we arrived and allowed to us to stay a little extra to finish up. When we struggled to do certain things, he was very encouraging and provided helpful tips. The class was also a nice little immersion into Turkish culture as Fatih was very passionate about his country. He shared facts about mosaics, Turkish music, and Turkish food while we worked. Would recommend for a big group or just 2 people looking for a fun activity.”
