The studio door opens onto a small, sunlit workspace where shards of colored glass sit like tiny promises. Participants gather around long tables; an instructor explains how a curved lamp base will accept hundreds of tesserae, and the scent of Turkish tea drifts through the room. Outside, the Black Dirt region’s orchards hum quietly in season, but inside the focus is deliberate—cutting, placing, and grouting the glowing mosaic that will become a functional lamp.
