Looking for a hands-on creative experience in the Sandy Springs and Perimeter Center area? Art N Melody offers a fully guided Turkish mosaic workshop in Atlanta's Perimeter Center area, conveniently located near Sandy Springs and Dunwoody.
During an approximately 2.5-hour session, guests choose from five mosaic art projects — four lamp styles and a candle holder — and create their own design with colorful glass tiles and beads. An experienced instructor guides each creative phase, and no prior art or crafting experience is required.
What the Workshop Involves
A fully guided creative process. The session moves through two hands-on phases — tile placement and bead placement — with clear demonstrations from an experienced instructor. Guests work at their own pace during each phase, with guidance available as needed.
Beginner-friendly support. The workshop is designed to be approachable for first-time guests, with clear demonstrations from an experienced instructor and pattern guides available for anyone who would like a starting point. Each guest chooses their own tile layout, colors, patterns, and bead combinations, allowing every mosaic design to develop its own look.
A take-home mosaic project. Every guest leaves with the tiled glass project they personally created during the workshop. The final grouting step is completed at home the following day after the mosaic glue has dried fully.
Refreshments, materials, and live music included. Every guest receives one serving of fresh baklava and one cup of traditional Turkish coffee. Every workshop includes a live music performance, and all materials needed for the creative session are provided.
How the Workshop Session Runs
Phase 1 – Tile Placement
Each guest selects a lamp style or candle holder and begins arranging colorful glass tiles on the glass surface. Pattern guides are available for inspiration, or guests can create their own arrangement. Fresh baklava and traditional Turkish coffee are served as the group settles in, and every workshop includes a live music performance.
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. Each guest continues developing the design through their own color, pattern, and bead choices.
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.
