Atlanta offers a wide range of things to do, from restaurants and shopping to museums, parks, and live entertainment. For visitors and locals looking for a hands-on creative activity, a Turkish mosaic workshop is one of the more distinctive options in the area.
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.
What Makes a Mosaic Workshop a Good Thing to Do in Atlanta
A hands-on creative experience. Guests choose from five mosaic project options when booking and personally create their own tiled mosaic design using colorful glass tiles and beads, making the workshop a hands-on creative addition to an Atlanta outing.
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 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.
