Mosaic Lamp Workshop in Cappadocia: Design & Take Home

The metal fittings on your lamp are finished with a paint formula used nowhere else in Turkey.

A hands-on mosaic lamp workshop in Cappadocia where you design and build your own lamp using colorful glass pieces on a rooftop terrace with views of the fairy chimneys. All materials, a bulb, protective packaging, and refreshments including Turkish tea and Turkish delight are included. The lamp splits into three sections for easy packing. A live guide leads the workshop in English or Turkish.

The experience

You'll work on a rooftop terrace with sweeping views of Cappadocia's iconic fairy chimneys while designing your own mosaic lamp from colorful glass pieces. No experience is needed. You pick your colors and let your creativity take over. The workshop runs about two hours, which makes it a relaxing break between other activities like hot air balloon rides or valley hikes. All materials are provided, and the lamp comes with a bulb included, so it's ready to use the moment you unpack it at home.

What sets this lamp apart is the metal fittings. They're finished with a heat, moisture, and scratch-resistant paint formula found only at this workshop in all of Turkey. The lamp is built in a modular design that splits into three pieces, making it simple to pack and travel with without worrying about breakage. You'll walk away with a genuine piece of handmade Turkish craftsmanship and a view over the fairy chimneys you won't forget.

The workshop includes apple and orange, Turkish tea, purified drinking water, a protective bag with bubble wrap and paper, and traditional fresh Turkish delight. A live guide leads the session in English or Turkish and is there to help you through the process. The rooftop location means you're working in natural light with the landscape as your backdrop.
