Tiles Workshop LLC, a Dallas-based creative experiences company, announces its expansion into Minneapolis, Minnesota and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with Turkish mosaic lamp-making workshops scheduled to begin in April 2026. The expansion addresses growing demand for hands-on creative experiences among corporate teams, couples, and social groups looking for memorable ways to connect.

Why it matters

The expansion of Tiles Workshop's Turkish mosaic lamp workshops comes at a time when U.S. employee engagement has declined to 31%, prompting organizations to explore creative solutions beyond traditional workplace social events. The workshops aim to boost employee engagement and productivity by providing a shared creative experience that encourages conversation and connection among colleagues.

The details

Tiles Workshop specializes in its Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop, a 2.5-hour guided event where participants create personalized Turkish mosaic lamps while enjoying traditional Turkish tea, coffee, and baklava. The workshops have gained traction among corporate clients seeking alternatives to conventional team-building activities, with major firms like PwC incorporating the workshops into their employee engagement initiatives.

  • Tiles Workshop's Turkish mosaic lamp workshops will begin in Minneapolis and Oklahoma City in April 2026.
  • The company recently delivered a mosaic lamp-making session at PwC's Culture Fest in 2025.
