Mosaic Workshops in Voorhees, NJ
Place hand-cut Turkish glass piece by piece, then take home the lamp you made to grout and light.
Workshop overview
Spend a couple of hours making something you’ll keep for years. You’ll plan your pattern and colors on paper, glue hand-cut Turkish glass onto a glass globe one piece at a time, then fill the gaps with beads. No experience needed — our instructors guide every step.
Your lamp comes home with you the same day along with a grouting kit. It dries overnight, then you grout it yourself and fit it into its frame with the LED bulb.
What to expect
-
Plan your design
Work on the design paper: pick two or three main patterns, add a few smaller ones, and choose your colors from the 12-color palette.
-
Place the glass
Glue the hand-cut Turkish glass onto the globe one pattern at a time, starting at each pattern’s center and working outward.
-
Fill the gaps
Press glass beads — or more tiles, whichever you prefer — into the spaces between your patterns until the globe is fully covered.
-
Take it home to dry
Your lamp leaves with you at the end of the session. It sits undisturbed for 12–24 hours while the glue fully cures.
-
Grout it yourself
Mix the grout from your take-home kit, work it into every gap and wipe it back with the sponge. About 20 minutes.
-
Light it up
Once the grout has cured, sit the globe in its frame, fit the LED bulb and switch it on.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need any experience to join a mosaic workshop?
No. Most guests at Mosaic Art Studio – Voorhees, NJ have never made a mosaic before. An instructor works with the table through every step — planning your pattern, gluing the hand-cut Turkish glass, filling the gaps with beads — and stays with you for the whole session.
How long is the workshop, and do I take my lamp home the same day?
Sessions run 2.5 hours and your lamp leaves with you at the end of it, along with a take-home grouting kit. The glue needs 12–24 hours undisturbed, so you grout the lamp at home the next day — about 20 minutes — then sit the globe in its frame and fit the LED bulb.
Can my friends and I each make a different project in the same session?
Yes. Everyone at the table can choose a different project and work on them side by side in the same session. Book one seat per maker and pick each person’s project as you go through the booking calendar.
Can two people work on one project together?
Yes. Add an “Accompany Person” seat ($35.00) when you book. That person sits with a maker and works on the same piece instead of making their own — it suits a parent with a younger child, or anyone who would rather share one lamp.
So a pair making a single lamp books one project seat plus one companion seat.
Which projects can I choose from in Voorhees, NJ?
11 projects, starting at $39.00: Light Box - Small, Light Box - Medium, Candle Holder, Mini Table Lamp, Table Lamp, Aladdin Lamp, Swan Lamp, Portable Lamp, Cylinder Wall Sconce, Mini Moon Lamp, Moon Lamp.
What is available on a given date shows in the booking calendar — choose the session first and the calendar lists that session’s projects with their prices.
What is the difference between the projects, and how big are the lamps?
Every lamp is built on the same glass globe. What changes is the metal frame — taller or more elaborate as the price goes up. The candle holder uses a smaller glass base and takes a tealight rather than a bulb.

Is there an age limit?
Guests need to be at least 8 years old. The workshop involves hand-cut glass and adhesive, so the minimum age keeps the session safe and the experience worthwhile for everyone at the table.
What is the cancellation policy?
- Cancel at least 168 hours (7 days) before the session starts and the booking is refunded in full.
- Cancel between 168 and 120 hours (7 to 5 days) before and up to 50% of the booking fee may be kept as an administrative fee.
- Less than 120 hours (5 days) before the session, the booking is non-refundable.
Can I reschedule my booking?
- Reschedule at least 48 hours before the session starts at no charge.
- Within 48 hours of the session there is a $25 per person handling fee.
- One reschedule per booking. If you do not have a new date yet, the booking code we issue is valid for three months.
How do I grout the lamp at home?
Let the lamp dry undisturbed for a day first. Then spread the ready-mixed grout from your kit straight over the glass, working it into every gap between the pieces and beads. Wipe the surface back with a wet sponge straight away, before the grout dries on top of the glass. Leave it another day to cure and it is ready to assemble.
What are the materials made of?
Hand-cut stained glass — coloured right through rather than painted, so it never fades — together with glass beads. The lamp frames are zamak, an alloy of zinc, aluminium, copper and magnesium, with a coating that stops it rusting. Lamps come wired with a US plug and an LED bulb.
Can I change my project once I am at the studio?
You can move up, not down. At the studio you can switch to any project at the same price, or upgrade to a more expensive one and pay the difference — just tell your instructor before you start, so we can bring the right pieces to your table.
We cannot swap you to a cheaper project once it is booked. So if you are torn between two, book the lower-priced one: upgrading on the day stays open to you, downgrading does not.
Do you host private events and group bookings?
Yes. A private session at Mosaic Art Studio – Voorhees, NJ gives your group the table and an instructor to yourselves — birthdays, team events, showers and family gatherings. A minimum spend applies and it varies by location, so send us the details and we will come back with a quote.
