Financial District Creative Experiences

Excellent class! Fatih was an excellent instructor and helped us all make beautiful moss wall art. I can’t wait to hang mine up!

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.

Had a lot of fun making the lamp! instructions were super clear and it turned out beautiful! Highly recommend if you're looking for a good crafting session

What a great little treat for myself, looks fantastic and so serene in my living room.

This was so much fun! It was honestly relaxing as well

Kit provides everything needed and easy to follow instructions. Took a few hours to complete minus drying time. Great price for all that is included.

What a terrific instructor and class! I've been wanting a terrarium forever and this class was so much a fun and so informative. Thank you so much!

My husband and i did a medium size terrarium. The teacher was incredible. He was kind, and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to take them home. The teacher even gifted us a small terrarium because it was our 10 year anniversary that day. It is an awesome experience and a must have!

I took the Turkish lamp making class and had such an amazing time! I highly recommend this wonderful new creative space. It brought me so much joy. They are such a gem in chinatown!
