Mosaic Art Studio International

What Mosaic Art Studio International does

Mosaic Art Studio International, founded in March 2019 in Hong Kong by co-founders Musa (creative) and Ibrahim (operations), operates a global franchise network of hands-on cultural art workshops built around traditional Turkish crafts. Its core product is a portfolio of four workshop formats: the flagship Mosaic Lamp Workshop (hand-cut glass and traditional techniques), Ebru Water Marbling (a UNESCO-recognized art of painting on water), Turkish Coffee Experience, and Ceramic Painting. All materials, including handcrafted frames, glass tiles, and tools, are shipped from a centralized supply hub to ensure consistent quality across locations.

The company distributes its workshops through 28 brick-and-mortar studios and 100+ pop-up events across nine countries (United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Netherlands, France, Norway, Taiwan, and Costa Rica). Revenue is generated through six streams: workshop bookings, private events, youth programs, cultural programs, DIY home kits (sold via a Shopify storefront), and retail accessories. The franchisor model is central to growth: independent partners invest between $35,500 and $98,600 to open a location and receive brand, curriculum, supply chain, and operational systems; corporate private events serve Fortune 500 clients, particularly in the United States. The 7-person HQ team is small relative to the 200,000+ cumulative creators served, reflecting a capital-light franchisor structure rather than a vertically integrated operator. No external funding rounds have been disclosed; the business has been bootstrapped from a single rented school room in Hong Kong to 28 studios across four continents.
