In this 2-hour class you’ll learn color mixing, brush handling, and composition tips such as how using a winding path provides an entry point into the composition, and how to create a sense of depth and distance in the background with color and value shifts.

We’ll be using acrylics on a 11x14” canvas and all supplies are included. Join us and bring home a painting you’ll be proud of!

"Turkish Mosaic Lamp Class" in a weird font

Step into a creative experience that feels both mindful and magical. In this Turkish mosaic lamp workshop, you’ll design your own glowing masterpiece using vibrant glass tiles and shimmering beads, transforming a simple lamp into a stunning work of art. This beginner-friendly workshop is perfect for anyone craving a fun, inspiring escape, with step-by-step guidance to make the process easy and enjoyable.

You’ll leave not only with a beautiful handmade lamp, but also with the satisfaction of creating something truly unique, meaningful, and full of light.

Please note all materials for the Turkish mosaic lamps are included, however due to drying time constraints we will not be grouting them. Grouting kits are available for cash-only purchase after the class for an additional $10.
