Antalya: Frame Glass Painting Workshop with Turkish Tea

Introduction: A Creative Break in Antalya

If you’re exploring Antalya and looking for a hands-on activity that offers a break from the usual sightseeing, this Frame Glass Painting Workshop with Turkish Tea might just be the thing. It’s designed to let you unleash your creativity, whether you’re a complete beginner or have some artistic experience. Plus, it’s situated near Antalya’s charming old town, making it easy to access after a day of wandering.

What really appeals to us about this experience are two things: first, the chance to create a personalized souvenir that captures Turkish culture or your own memories; second, the laid-back atmosphere of enjoying Turkish tea and snacks while you work. That said, one thing to consider is that this is a relatively short workshop—about two hours—so if you’re after a deep dive into art or a full-day activity, this might feel a bit light. Still, it’s perfect for anyone who wants a relaxed, culturally rich creative session. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with friends, this experience suits those who enjoy arts and crafts with a local twist.

What to Expect from the Workshop

Once you arrive near Antalya’s old town—your meeting point is conveniently located in front of landmarks like “Serra Eczanesi” and “Katlm Evim”—the experience begins. The workshop is thoughtfully designed to be welcoming for everyone, regardless of your artistic background. It lasts around two hours, which is enough time to create a meaningful piece without feeling rushed.

You’ll start by browsing a catalog of images, which includes Antalya landscapes, Turkish motifs, or other pictures. If you prefer, you can bring your own photo to work from—something that makes the experience more personal. Once you’ve selected your image, the instructor guides you through outlining it with contour paint, then filling it in with acrylics. The process is gentle, with step-by-step instructions to help you stay on track.

Throughout the session, soft music plays in the background, adding to the relaxed vibe. You’ll be offered Turkish tea and snacks like Turkish delight, which enhances the cultural flavor of the experience. The instructor also provides photo and video support, so you can document your work and keep a memory of your artistic journey.

When your glass frame is finished, it’s carefully packaged to ensure safe travel, especially if you’re planning to fly home afterward. The final result is a personalized piece of art, ready to be displayed or gifted.

You’ll appreciate the attention to detail, especially with the packaging: your finished piece is carefully boxed, so it arrives home intact. The craftsmanship involved in covering the glass with brass adds a touch of elegance to your creation, making it a special keepsake.
