Make Turkish Mosaic Lamp

Lamp Type

What It Is

A Turkish mosaic lamp is a decorative glass lamp made by arranging small hand-cut glass pieces and beads into repeating patterns that glow when illuminated. The craft is built on patience and visual rhythm, as the design comes together piece by piece.

In our Bay Area SoMa experience, you will learn the method step by step and create a finished lamp that feels personal and display-worthy. It is approachable for beginners and rewarding for anyone who loves color, pattern, and hands-on making.
