Creative Art Workshops & Team-Building Experiences

Looking for a relaxing and innovative activity that gets your team to bond? My art workshops will engage your entire group and get their creative juices flowing!

Most adults haven’t attempted a visual art project since their grade school days. So let me guide your team through an art project that will give them a new sense of insight, expression, and fun.

 

Why organize creative art workshops for your team?

 
 

Experience creative flow and mental health benefits

Artistic activities like drawing and painting can help induce a state of creative flow. This can be relaxing and reduce stress levels. People who experience flow report higher levels of creativity, productivity, and happiness.

- Verywell Mind

Enhances problem-solving skills

There is no right or wrong answer in art. People are often encouraged to develop creative solutions of their own. This kind of flexible thinking stimulates your brain and enhances problem-solving skills.

- Scripps AMG

Reignite your team's motivation

Remote working continues to linger in a post-pandemic world, and the hybrid work model seems to be in demand. Companies might need new ways to re-energize employees who feel bored or uninspired. Art can help break up the monotony of remote working and invigorate your team's creative thinking.

- Harvard Business Review

 

Why should you hire me for your next team-building activity? 

I offer virtual and in-person (in and around New York City) lettering and watercolor workshops. My classes provide a safe and creative setting for individuals to create visual work they will be proud of. Some upsides of booking me for your next team-building experience include: 

 

  • I've spent over 5 years and hundreds of hours teaching lettering and watercolor workshops. During this time, I've helped students quickly master basic skills while encouraging creative exploration!

  • I have experience teaching in small intimate settings and large audiences of hundreds of participants. For larger groups, I work with teaching assistants for more personalized instructions. For virtual team building activities, I have a convenient two-camera setup. Participants will be able to see my friendly face and my process!

  • I offer several beginner-friendly lettering and watercolor projects that you can choose from. I can also develop personalized programs based on seasonal holidays or your team's needs!

  • I strive to create an atmosphere that encourages questions and conversations in all of my classes. I also provide a safe space for my students to share their work at the end of the art workshop, giving them a sense of accomplishment and joy!

  • During the team building activity, I encourage my students let go of perfectionism in their art. Instead, I guide them to focus on the creative process and embrace their mindfulness found in artistic activities. This allows them to enjoy the calm and relaxation of immersing themselves in a creative flow state!

 

The Paisley Corner offers hand lettering and watercolor workshops for corporate groups looking for unique team-building experiences. My virtual art workshops are ideal for remote teams in different parts of the globe. Artistic activities are relaxing and provide unique opportunities for teams to bond. Studies show that creative employees are happier, more productive, and strong problem-solvers. So email swetha@thepaisleycorner.com to book your next team-building activity!

  • "The Paisley Corner came in to lead their Watercolor Galaxies for Beginners workshop as a fun, holiday team-building event. They provided all materials and clear, step-by-step instructions on how to create delightful galactic images (think Hubble telescope or the cover of your favorite sci-fi novel). The workshop was enjoyable, and relaxing, and left us with great-looking nebulae that now adorn our cubicles. Highly recommended!"
