Book the Southampton WorkshopWhat Is an Original Turkish Lamp?
An original Turkish lamp is a handcrafted lighting piece made by carefully placing hundreds of small, colourful glass tiles and beads onto a glass base. Rooted in centuries of Ottoman artisan tradition, each lamp scatters intricate, jewel-like patterns of light across your walls and ceiling, creating an atmosphere that feels both ancient and magical.
When you make your own Turkish lamp in Southampton, you become part of this living heritage. You pick the lamp shape, design the colour scheme, and hand-place every single tile, so no two lamps are ever the same. Yours is truly original, made entirely by you.
"I had no idea I could make something this beautiful. The Southampton session was calm, creative and so much fun, and my lamp now has pride of place in my living room. I get compliments on it every single week."

What Our Southampton Makers Say
"What a brilliant way to spend an afternoon in Southampton. We came as a group of four for a birthday and every single one of us made something completely different and stunning. The instructor was warm, encouraging and genuinely expert. Highly recommend."
"Booked this as a date night and it was one of the best evenings we've had in the city. Something so different and creative, and we both came away with a lamp we were genuinely proud of. That first moment when it lit up was magical."
"We used this for a team event and it was perfect. Everyone was engaged, everyone made something unique, and the whole atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. Far better than the usual corporate activities, we'll be back."
