The Experience: Intention and LightIn a world of constant digital noise, this virtual workshop offers two hours of focused, calming making. Join Nur, a Turkish designer and educator, to create a stunning Turkish-style mosaic lamp—a functional piece of art rooted in sacred geometry, story, and presence.You will design and build your own lamp using a premium craft kit shipped directly to you. As you place each hand-cut tile, you will quiet your mind, set a personal intention, and transform a simple glass globe into a glowing reminder that radiates color and meaning.Trusted by over 1, 000 corporate teams and groups, this experience blends mindful creation, cultural storytelling, and premium materials into a truly memorable session.What You Will Learn & Create Over approximately two hours, this live session offers a beginner-friendly, non-intimidating journey:Mindful Creation: Experience a soothing, repetitive creative process that quiets mental chatter and shifts focus from performance to presence.Cultural Depth: Explore the philosophical and artistic roots of the craft, connecting your lamp to Islamic art traditions and the powerful concepts of light and sacred geometry. Your host shares rich stories about Turkish coffee culture and the 5, 000-year lineage of this art form.Intention-Based Art: Infuse a personal concept (e.g., peace, growth) into your design, turning your finished lamp into a symbolic object.Creative & Meditative:
Repetitive tile and bead work naturally creates a meditative state, helping participants decompress and ground.
The process emphasizes presence over perfection, easing anxiety and perfectionism.
Nur reminds everyone that everything is fixable: tiles can be nudged, stars can be adjusted, beads can be re-glued. Nobody has ever “failed” this workshop.

Recent reviews of DIY Turkish Mosaic Lamp
5/5 from Doruk Korkmaz, attended Oct 2026: Great class
5/5 from Kim Smalling, attended Jun 2026: One of our fav classes as this is our 2nd year doing this. It yields such a beautiful home decor item and everyone found it to be a very relaxing craft. I definitely recommend!
5/5 from Dania Codada, Pmhnp-Bc, attended Apr 2026: The teacher was great and accommodating.
3/5 from Kory Kolves, attended Feb 2026: While we've had a great time with ClassBento in general and the classes with Kraft Stories themselves are fine, we've done several events through Kraft Stories lately and we've had a challenging experience. We've had to initiate the follow up for the shipments, tracking and join link for each of our recent experiences. Today the vendor arrived to the meeting 12 minutes into the meeting. These experiences cause me to point our team to other experiences on the platform.
5/5 from Yuka Sato, attended Jan 2026: I signed our work team up for a virtual team building activity decorating Turkish Lamps, and I cannot stress how much the whole team loved it! The kits were shipped in a very timely manner to our global team and the quality of kit was very impressive. The instructor was absolutely wonderful and the whole team really enjoyed the building session so much. I definitely recommend this activity for any group activity! I will definitely be signing up for another activity with them again soon.
5/5 from Svetlana, attended Dec 2025: Nur (the teacher) was a fantastic facilitator who led a great intention-setting discussion that everyone enjoyed. The craft was beautifully packaged, very straightforward, and will result in something that's actually beautiful and useful! Great project even for non-crafty people.
5/5 from Ana Matos, attended Dec 2025: Wow! What a fun class and host. Everyone loved the intentions behind their lamps and the group photos are all smiles. Thank you again!
5/5 from Sara Mahjoub, attended Nov 2025: Our teacher Nurullah was incredible. He was so patient, passionate and helpful. We organized this workshop for our employee resource group at work and everyone was so pleased. Highly recommend!
1/5 from Stephany Moore, attended Nov 2025: Nothing about my experience with ClassBento went smoothly. Never received class info until repeatedly asking for it. Never received shipping info until repetedly asking for it. Then, My class was canceled. Was told I would be sent a class recording so I could complete my project. Requested video several times and still have not received. Was told it was sent and to check my email. Nada, never received. What a waste of money
5/5 from Audrey Choi, attended Sep 2025: Fun class! I'm not very crafty but was still able to follow along and was proud of my work. Host is great.
4/5 from Anonymized ClassBento customer, attended Jun 2025: The virtual DIY Turksish Moscaic lamp class was good. Due to scheduling conflicts the class wasn't a virtual instruction one but the instructor did send a link to a recorded instructional video that in some ways better since I was able to stop and re-view sections of the video for better understanding. The kit provided contained everything required to complete the project. The only thing that could be better was that more of the colored mosaic tiles and beads were included. I would recommend the virtual class for anyone who likes a more individual instruction.
5/5 from Cindy Howell, attended May 2025: I had fun making my lamp and it turned out nice. My instructor was good about explaining what to do and very personable.

5/5 from Jasmine Tucker, attended Jul 2024: Nurullah was a lovely and patient teacher! my lamp turned out beautifully, and he kept us entertained the whole time, telling us stories about Turkey and chiming in throughout our conversation on other topics. The project was fairly simple, but led to an absolutely stunning result-- we were all thrilled with our final lamps. Be warned that things may get a bit sticky from the glue, and you may be chasing down little beads for a couple days after. But no regrets!
5/5 from Marie, attended Jul 2024: I am not artistically inclined and I had a great time with this class! The process was fairly simple and well explained by our instructor Nur, and additionally, he was a really fun person to have lead our team.

5/5 from Gregory Kubovsak, attended Jun 2024: This was a lot of fun, and I would certainly do it again. Nurullah was a great instructor, giving more than just leading step-by-step. He was very informative, and I'm proud of the end result (still drying, so I can't fully assemble it yet, so I won't add a photo here). Can't wait to do more.

5/5 from Brooks Cutter, attended Jan 2024: I booked this for a team of 11 and we all had a great time. Nur was great as a host, we had wonderful conversations and chatted throughout the event. And despite my being artistically challenged it came out great! I was also impressed with the time and thought Nur put into the kit he shipped to all the participants, I was expecting some off the shelf kit but he clearly put a lot of thought and love into the box design. Not only would I recommend this, I already have to others in my company! PS: He has some great baklava recommendations!
5/5 from Krystal Rath, attended Dec 2023: This was the best YouTube and information to make this mosaic lamp. If it were a little bit less expensive, I’d make a whole bunch of these, but it was so fun.

5/5 from Becky Blink, attended Oct 2023: This workshop was AWESOME I would love to do this one again with a different lamp pattern. It was soooooo relaxing and Nur shared so many interesting things about his Turkish culture. I liked this workshop so much that I went online and purchased some DIY Turkish Lamp Kits for my family to do over the holidays. Absolutely loved it (Could have used a few more beads in my kit though).
5/5 from Diana Barnes, attended Oct 2023: Really enjoyed the class and LOVE my Turkish lamp. Nurullah was a great instructor and made the entire experience fun and enjoyable. His instructions were easy to follow and the way he incorporated lots of quiet work time helped make the entire activity relaxing. The addition of Turkish music and some sharing of Turkish culture really rounded out the class. I would not consider myself very artsy, but was easily able to complete this project successfully. Thanks for such a fun experience!
