About this workshop

The mosaic lamps that light up İstanbul's bazaars are made by your own hands in this workshop. You choose from hundreds of coloured glass pieces and beads and build your own pattern.

After gluing the glass, grouting and cleaning, your lamp is ready to use. The electrical fitting and bulb are included — you take it home the same day.
