Mosaic Lamp Workshop in Antalya: Make Your Own Turkish Glass Lamp

Two hours arranging colored glass into patterns inspired by Ottoman art, then walking out with a lamp you built.

A two-hour mosaic lamp-making workshop in Antalya's Old Town where you arrange colorful glass pieces into a design of your own, guided step-by-step by an instructor who speaks English, Russian or Turkish. All materials, protective packaging, fresh Turkish delights and unlimited tea or Turkish coffee are included. No prior experience needed and all skill levels work here.

The Experience

You arrive at the workshop in Antalya's Old Town and start by selecting from vibrant glass pieces: the instructor shows you how to arrange them into patterns inspired by Ottoman and Middle Eastern art. There's no right way to do it. The design is yours. Over the next two hours you'll cut, fit and assemble the pieces onto the lamp base, learning the traditional technique as you go. The instructor walks you through each step, so whether you've never touched a craft tool or you make things all the time, the process stays manageable and the lamp comes together.

Turkish tea and fresh delights arrive while you work, part of the hospitality built into the workshop. When the lamp is finished, it gets wrapped in bubble wrap and packed into a bag you take with you. It's durable, heat-resistant and ready to sit on a shelf or table at home. The whole thing is handmade by you, not mass-produced, which is why it becomes a keepsake instead of a souvenir.

The workshop takes no more than two hours and requires no experience beforehand. Families, groups and solo travelers all work here, and the space is wheelchair accessible with public transportation nearby. If you speak English, Russian or Turkish, your instructor will guide you in that language.
