Tiles Workshop LLC, the Dallas-based cultural arts company specializing in Turkish mosaic lamp-making experiences, announces its selection as the featured creative partner for the JW Chicago Social Series, with a hands-on workshop scheduled for June 28, 2026, at the JW Marriott Chicago.
The two-hour workshop, taking place from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at 151 West Adams Street in downtown Chicago, marks an expansion of the company's signature Turkish mosaic lamp experiences into one of the city's most recognized hotel venues. The Sunday-afternoon session is part of the hotel's curated cultural and lifestyle programming, reflecting both its educational value and its social, hands-on format.
Participants in the mosaic lamp workshop events will design and assemble their own illuminated artwork using hand-cut glass tiles and beads, guided step-by-step by professional mosaic artists. The session requires no prior artistic experience and includes all materials, tools, and instruction needed to complete a finished table lamp that participants take home. Tickets are required and available through the Tiles Workshop website.
"This partnership with JW Marriott Chicago represents a significant milestone in bringing authentic Turkish craftsmanship to downtown Chicago's cultural landscape," said Matt Yigit, founder of Tiles Workshop LLC. "Our format ensures that someone with zero artistic background can walk out two hours later carrying a finished, fully assembled mosaic lamp they created themselves."
The workshop follows the studio's established approach of making traditional mosaic art accessible through structured, social experiences. Participants select from hand-cut glass tiles and decorative beads arranged at their workstations, while instructors demonstrate tile selection, layout, and assembly techniques in a relaxed, welcoming setting suited to adults of all skill levels.
Tiles Workshop Events have gained recognition across multiple states, with the company earning designation as one of the 50 Most Influential People in Events in the US & Canada for 2025. The studio has been featured by regional tourism organizations including Visit Plano and Visit Dallas, and profiled in outlets such as VoyageDallas and The Jeff Crilley Show.
The June 28 session joins the JW Chicago Social Series, the hotel's curated program of cultural and lifestyle events open to both hotel guests and the wider Chicago public. The workshop's inclusion in the series signals continued demand for hands-on, culture-led programming in downtown Chicago.
