Project Overview

The Candle Holder project is one of our popular choices due to its manageable size and the freedom it offers for personal expression.

It’s a beginner-friendly project, suitable for anyone interested in learning the basics of mosaic art while creating a piece to treasure.

• Colors and Patterns: In this workshop, you’ll have access to a range of vibrant glass colors, allowing you to create a candle holder that matches your style. Whether you prefer bold, bright hues or softer, more neutral tones, you’ll have the freedom to experiment and bring your vision to life. The candle holder can feature intricate patterns like the star pattern shown here, inspired by traditional Turkish designs, or something completely unique to you.
• Materials Provided: Each participant receives a selection of hand-cut glass pieces, beads, and grout, all designed to bring out the beauty of mosaic art. You’ll also have access to tools and materials that make the process smooth and enjoyable. Our instructors will guide you through arranging the pieces to create a balanced, harmonious design.
