Pottery Workshop for outdoor team building

Ceramic workshop as part of a team building programme at the New Forest Outdoor Centre, Hampshire

Our pottery workshops are ideal for teams who want to some creative fun. Working with clay can be a relaxing activity that a team can really enjoy.

Our instructors will introduce the basic techniques and set a modelling objective. Team members will then be given their own clay to work with. The moulding and sculpting in this medium to create ceramic masterpieces requires concentration and a pottery workshop is an ideal way to engage all of the team members. A less messy but equally engaging activity is ceramic painting.

Delegates will be asked to come up with "team" designs for the ceramic plates or mugs, which could reflect the objectives of the teambuilding programme. They will then be shown the simple painting techniques and then left to find the artist within! The pieces will be comercially fired and returned to the delegates for use or display.

"I found working with clay really relaxing. We had to come up with a specific design to meet the set criteria and then work together to complete the piece by the deadline!"
