The Glass Mosaic Workshop, held between December 17 and 20, was organized within the framework of the ÜNİDES program of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. Under the instruction of İnci Çatal, who came from Istanbul, participating students learned both glass cutting and processing techniques as well as how to transfer a composition onto a wooden panel. Through intensive work carried out over four days, the logos of six excavations conducted by Pamukkale University faculty members were created on panels. During the spring semester, participating students continued working on and completed the panels. Within the scope of this workshop, the logos of the Laodikeia, Tripolis, Stratonikeia, Yassıhöyük, Attouda, and Sillyon excavations were prepared using the glass mosaic technique.

During the 2025–2026 Spring Semester, the Kilim Weaving Workshop: From Tradition to the Future was conducted twice a week between April 21 and May 8 in partnership with the Ministry of Youth and Sports. Prof. Dr. Ayşegül Koyuncu Okca from the PAU Technical Sciences Vocational School served as the workshop instructor. Small kilim samples prepared by participating students who learned basic kilim weaving techniques were exhibited.
