Creating Meaningful Experiences Through Mosaic Art Changes Lives
Manage episode 479048322 series 2974132
Matt Yigit shares his journey from software engineer to founder of Tiles Workshop, where guests create beautiful Turkish mosaic lamps while enjoying authentic coffee and baklava in a supportive, structured environment.
• Turkish mosaic art has historical roots in Roman, Ottoman, and Byzantine empires
• Unlike paint-and-sip concepts, this experience lets participants create functional art for their homes
• Workshops serve as "creative escape" from corporate life while blending structure and artistic freedom
• The imperfect nature of tiles helps participants with OCD embrace imperfections and find beauty in differences
• Classes accommodate 5-50 people, with strangers often connecting at tables of six
• Materials are sourced directly from Turkey to ensure authentic, high-quality experience
• Corporate teams book private sessions for team building events
• Future plans include opening a permanent Plano location while maintaining mobile workshops
• Franchise opportunities upcoming following interest from Chicago, San Antonio and Houston
• Matt credits "networking" as the most important factor in his business success
