Discover the Magic of Mosaic Art
It started in the Middle East and flourished in the Ottoman Empire. The work is done by placing together small pieces of glass & beads of different colors into intricate patterns that will glow when lighted up. Traditionally, these were used in chandeliers, lamps, and lanterns to cover homes, palaces, and mosques.
At our workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn how this stunning art form is created - from its origins to the step-by-step process of creating your own lamp. Don't worry if you have no experience. We offer all the materials, equipment & instructions you need to create your lamp. It's a calming, fulfilling activity where you get to be creative & make something gorgeous with your own hands.
Why is Seattle the Perfect Place?
It is a city that genuinely values creativity. With its numerous galleries, museums & art venues, it's a hub of artistic expression in all its forms. One aspect that differentiates the craft scene is its deep connection to glass art. You may have heard of the Chihuly Garden and Glass display near the Space Needle, featuring the wonderful craft of Dale.
Our traditional Turkish art in Seattle is right in with that tradition - but with a twist. Most art displays are for viewing, but ours is for creating. You get to be involved in the process. Rather than simply viewing, you'll be creating your own. It's a new, exciting way to be a part of an artistic vibe while doing something memorable.
A Great Activity for Groups, Families, and Solo Creatives
One of the greatest things about our Seattle Turkish Art Workshops is just how versatile they are. Planning a weekend get-together with friends? Need something to bring the whole family to? Want to treat yourself to a solo date? This class can fit all types of plans.
For couples, it's a cozy, creative date where you can make something together. For families, it's the best that sparks the imagination of kids & adults alike. For singles, it's a relaxing space to explore your inner artist. And if you are visiting this location, it's the perfect local activity to give a try - plus, you get to have a homemade keepsake to show for it. Each lamp is one-of-a-kind, just like the person who makes it.
What to Expect?
Upon your arrival, you will be warmly welcomed with color. Our Seattle Turkish art workshops will make you feel like you're in a small part of Istanbul, with authentic music, tea & instructors ready to assist you. You'll start by selecting the base and picking the colorful glass pieces you'd like to use. We'll present you with various design patterns to inspire you, or you can design your own from scratch. The workshop generally lasts between 2 to 2.5 hours.
During that time, set pieces into place with glue & let your design dry. Don’t worry about perfection, and we believe the beauty of handmade things lies in their imperfections. And while your lamp is drying, you can sip tea, chat with other participants, or get a photo of your work.
