How It Works at Your Office
All you provide is the space: tables and chairs for your group and a little room to move around. Before the session the instructor covers the tables, lays out canvases and palettes and sets up a demonstration easel at the front of the room. The lesson is broken into clear stages, starting with the background and moving through main shapes, color blending and final details. Between stages people get up, look at each other's work and trade advice, which is why this format works so well as team bonding activities in office settings where colleagues rarely have time to talk. At the end the instructor packs everything away and your group lines up for a photo with their canvases.
Why Bring the Experience Onsite
Bringing the session to you removes the hardest parts of planning a team event: travel time, parking, transportation and getting everyone to the same place at the same time. It fits neatly into a lunch block, an afternoon offsite held at the office or the end of an all-hands day. It also scales well. The studio regularly runs groups up to sixty guests, so one session can cover an entire department. These are some of the easiest team activities to schedule, because they are seated, indoors and suitable for every fitness level and every season.
Custom Designs for Your Team
Every design is customizable. Choose a painting from the studio gallery, or ask for a personalized design that reflects your company colors, a product launch, a local landmark or a holiday theme. Custom canvases turn the event into a keepsake, and many teams hang their finished pieces together in the office afterward.
Group Size and Pricing
Pricing is per participant, so your total follows your final headcount, from ten guests up to sixty. Private events should be booked two to three weeks ahead, and earlier for holiday season dates when office team building events fill quickly. Let the studio know about your room size and table layout when you book so the setup can be planned in advance.
