Mosaic Art Studio Ottawa - Ottawa, Ontario

Francine

I had the pleasure of participating in a workshop at this beautiful Turkish mosaics shop, and I can honestly say it was one of the most calming and enjoyable afternoons I’ve had in a long time.
From the moment you step in, you're transported — the atmosphere is warm, peaceful, and beautifully decorated with vibrant Turkish lamps and intricate details that make you feel like you’ve travelled to another country. Soft Turkish music plays in the background, setting a serene mood, and we were offered delicious Turkish tea and traditional delights that added such a lovely, authentic touch.
The workshop itself was incredibly enjoyable. Every minute was filled with creativity and relaxation. The person guiding us was so kind and helpful — they took the time to walk us through the process, answered all our questions patiently, and made sure everyone felt confident with their project.
Whether you're into crafts or just looking for a calming and culturally rich experience, I would highly recommend this workshop. It’s a perfect escape from the busyness of daily life — peaceful, inspiring, and genuinely special. 🌙✨

Cool DIY workshop
My partner bought us a Turkish lamp making session for our anniversary. I made a lamp and she made a candle holder.
The process was pretty easy and we had a bunch of fun figuring out the patterns.
The coordinator was super nice and offered us tea and a Turkish delight during our work session.

You don’t need to be a professional to make a lamp and the instructions are really straight forward.

There are a bunch of different lamps you can choose from for a fee but I chose the standard lamp at no extra cost. You can also have them plaster your final product or you can bring it home and do it yourself.
Overall I loved the experience!

We had a great time. Excellent instructor, willing to assist as needed. The tea and Turkish candy were a nice treat.

My mom and I went and had a great time.

Lots of colours to pick from. Lots of examples to look at for ideas.

The hardest part was picking a design and deciding on the colours. Once you did that the process is pretty simple. But 2.5 hours went by very quickly, so don’t waste too much time deciding 😉

Enjoyed it so much I’m going back to make a second one!

What a fun afternoon. The studio is beautiful and set up perfectly for you to create. My teacher was Andre and he was so sweet and helpful. It was easy and difficult at the same time but I finished my lamp which I was a little concerned about when I started. If you don't finish in time, they give you all the stuff to bring home to finish. I left mine there for them to plaster for an extra $10 or you have the option to take it home and do the plaster yourself. They will give you a little take home kit. I can't wait to go pick it up!

The workshop itself was wonderful!! The staff leading us was very friendly and informed. There was an abundance of tiles and beads supplied and the 2.5 hours to complete it was perfect.

Why the 3 stars? Well, the booking process was extremely frustrating. Management only responded to texts sometimes and did not follow up despite multiple voicemails. Everytime they did pick up my call, they were driving and could not properly carry the conversation or offer any guidance. We asked to reschedule once and they mistakenly booked us for a different date. Also when you rebook, they do it manually and so you don't receive any information or guidance leading up to the workshop. When we showed up (despite management having confirmed our dates), the staff had not been informed of our booking.

Will add photos to review once plastering is completed.

I came here as part of a group of 10 for a birthday event and we all really enjoyed it. I made a candle holder because it was cheaper but the rest of my group made lamps. The activity was 2.5 hours which seemed like a long time, but it went by really quick. They gave us tea and Turkish delights to enjoy. The glass pieces were easy to glue on but the beads were trickier to work with. Here’s how my candle holder turned out. You can make any design you want and they have some suggestions on a template as well.

The most amazing, artistic, authentic activity! So pleased with the overall experience, our instructor Danny was incredible and super kind. Time flew by and the outcome was so gorgeous. So many designs and colours! The tea was so delicious and the Turkish delight was perfect! I’d go back a million times!
