Team Bonding
Through Clay

Need a break from your regular office routine?

We tailor corporate programmes to offer teams a refreshing

way to create, connect and experience something new together through a hands-on pottery experience!

Why Clay?

There is no single “right” outcome. Give two people the same clay and tools, and they will create something completely different. That makes pottery a natural way to encourage creativity, conversation and an appreciation of the different ideas and perspectives within a team.

Depending on your organisation's objectives, sessions can place greater emphasis on personal creativity, shared experiences, collaboration or team interaction.

CREATIVITY

Discover your creative approach to making things, use your imagination to create something uniquely yours.

TAKEAWAYS!

CONNECTION

Spend time together outside usual workplace conversations and routines

WELL-BEING

Shaping clay invites patience, offering an opportunity to slow down and enjoy the creative process.

TEAMWORK

Create opportunities to communicate, and practice working together as a team

what to expect

Our programmes are beginner friendly and come with everything your team needs to get started!

MATERIALS

AND SERVICES

STEP 1

Choose your experience

Handbuilding

Hand-building involves shaping clay directly with your hands using techniques such as pinching, coiling and slab building. It is a flexible, expressive process that allows for organic forms and individual creativity.

Choose this if your team:

Wants greater individual creative expressions

Wants opportunity for collaborative experiences

Wheel Throwing

Wheel throwing involves shaping clay on a spinning pottery wheel by centring, opening and pulling the clay into form. The process is commonly used to create rounded forms such as cups, bowls and vases.

Choose this if your team:

Is up for a personal challenge

Wants an opportunity to create matching items

STEP 2

Choose your settinG

Choose a focused pottery session at our studio, bring the experience directly to your workplace, or take your team off-site for a more immersive experience surrounded by Singapore's ceramic heritage!

CREATE AT

OUR STUDIO

Bring your team into our working pottery studio for a focused, hands-on introduction to ceramics.

This is ideal for teams who want more time focused on making, learning pottery techniques and enjoying the atmosphere of a working ceramics studio.

GO BEYOND

THE STUDIO

Team Experience at the Dragon Kiln

Take your team out of the office and into a setting connected to Singapore's ceramic story. The Dragon Kiln setting allows us to go beyond simply making pottery: teams can explore different aspects of ceramics while learning more about clay, firing and the journey from raw material to finished ceramic ware.

For larger groups and organisations looking for a more immersive day out, the experience can also incorporate specially designed group activities that encourage interaction, communication and collaboration.

Suited for larger groups, company off-sites and teams wanting to get out of the office, discover Singapore's ceramic heritage and participate in a more expansive team-bonding programme.

WE BRING THE

CLAY TO YOU

The Clay People can bring a pottery experience to your office or company venue, turning your space into a temporary creative studio.

For teams that want convenience, this options allows for an addition of a creative element to a company programme without requiring the team to travel elsewhere.
