We start with an introduction to our facilities and to basic ceramic processes.

Then we start the activity selected. We facilitate by explaining the activity objectives, and timeline. Throughout our activities, we facilitate to ensure success of each team member. The activity typically lasts between 1 1/2 to 2 hours based on your schedule.
(3) Team Review
If desired, when the activity is complete we facilitate a session debrief so team members can share their creations with the team. This end cap allows each team member to reflect on and articulate their experience.
(4) A Memorable Experience
At the end of the workshop the team will also have created a memorable ceramic piece. The product is then glazed and kiln fired. The final ceramic creations are ready about two weeks after the teambuilding activity and can be picked up at our ceramic studio or shipped via DHL Express to your location.
