Description

Discover the joy of working with clay in this immersive pottery team-building workshop that blends creativity, focus, and collaboration. Led by expert ceramic instructor Judy Fleming, this hands-on experience introduces teams to both wheel throwing and handbuilding techniques in an inspiring studio environment.

Participants begin with live demonstrations covering foundational pottery skills, including centering clay on the wheel and shaping forms by hand. After the introduction, team members have ample time to practice and create their own ceramic pieces, with personalized guidance provided throughout the session. The workshop is designed to be welcoming and accessible for all skill levels, from complete beginners to those with prior experience.

Each participant will create multiple ceramic pieces, which are later professionally glazed and kiln-fired. Finished works serve as lasting mementos of the shared team experience.

Beyond the art itself, this workshop encourages the development of valuable workplace skills. Working with clay improves hand-eye coordination, patience, and creative problem-solving, while the tactile process promotes mindfulness and stress relief. As colleagues share tools, techniques, and ideas, the experience naturally strengthens communication, collaboration, and team connection.

Ideal for corporate teams seeking a creative yet relaxing bonding activity, this workshop accommodates a variety of group sizes and can be tailored to specific team goals. The warehouse-style studio offers ample space and an energizing creative atmosphere, allowing teams to work comfortably together.
