The holiday season in Atlanta brings office parties, friend get-togethers, and family gatherings. A Turkish mosaic workshop offers a hands-on creative activity that can fit into holiday season plans, whether booked as a private group or reserved as a public Saturday session.
Sessions are held at Homewood Suites by Hilton Atlanta/Perimeter Center in Atlanta's Perimeter Center area. During an approximately 2.5-hour session, every guest works on one of five mosaic art projects — four lamp styles and a candle holder — using colorful glass tiles and beads to create their own mosaic project. An experienced instructor guides each creative phase, and no prior art or crafting experience is required.
Why a Mosaic Workshop Works for a Holiday Gathering
A shared creative activity. Guests work side by side on their own mosaic projects, making the session a shared activity for coworkers, friends, or family during the holiday season.
Refreshments and live music included. One serving of fresh baklava and one cup of traditional Turkish coffee are included for every guest, and every workshop includes a live music performance while guests continue working on their mosaic projects.
A guided, beginner-friendly process. An experienced instructor demonstrates each creative phase, making the workshop approachable for guests with different levels of creative background.
A seasonal project to take home. Every guest leaves with the tiled glass project they personally created, along with a grout packet and printed instructions for completing the final grouting step at home the following day.
How the Workshop Session Runs
Phase 1 — Tile Placement
Each guest begins working on their selected lamp style or candle holder by arranging colorful glass tiles onto the glass surface. Pattern guides are provided at each seat for guests who would like inspiration or a starting point, or they can create their own arrangement.
One serving of fresh baklava and one cup of traditional Turkish coffee are served as the group settles in. Every workshop includes a live music performance while guests continue working on their mosaic projects.
Phase 2 — Bead Placement
Once the tile design is in place, the experienced instructor demonstrates how to place colorful beads between the tiles to add depth and texture to the design. Each project develops its own look based on the colors, patterns, and bead combinations selected by each guest.
Wrap-Up — Grout Instructions
Because the mosaic glue needs approximately 10 to 12 hours to dry fully, the final grouting step is completed at home rather than during the workshop. Before the session ends, the experienced instructor demonstrates the grouting process, answers questions, and provides each guest with a grout packet and printed take-home instructions.
