Case Studies
Brief
The global tax team's new leader wanted to bring his global team together to meet each other.
Being new also, he wanted to meet them face-to-face.
They asked Crafty Team Building to suggest four workshops that could open and close the conference in Cambridge.
Results
We proposed two painting workshops, one to create individual art and then the second to create team art, having already learnt the art form.
To close, two challenges, the Columbus cube challenge working again in teams, and then the world record-holding paper plane challenge just for fun and to close the conference.
Going above and beyond
We also ran a competition for the two days and awarded six prizes throughout the conference to all the winners!
Go team!
Testimonial
"Such a fantastic session, the whole team loved it and can't wait for our next session tomorrow. Probably one of our best team events ever, thank you Vanessa 😊."
Brief
The Commercial Growth team of 75 were having a team offsite.
The organiser Lana wanted a contrasting activity to an inflatables experience where colleagues could be creative over the course of 1.5 hours.
Results
Colleagues could sign up to either activity and it was great to see that over half chose the art experience!
The Modular Origami workshop was chosen as Lana wanted everyone to be able to take home a finished piece of art.
Crafty Team Building chose a suitable star, "Gary's Star", designed by Sok Song, as an entry-level design, to ensure everyone succeeded.
Going above and beyond
I created step-by-step worksheets, in case anyone wanted to take them home to make more.
It worked! Most were gone at the end.
Testimonial
"Addictive! Was so much fun working together on our origami stars.
The team loved it even more than I thought they would. Vanessa is brilliant - highly recommended and I have a gorgeous piece of art to show off!"
Brief
Ocado wanted to introduce an Art day to encourage colleagues to bring in their creations.
Alongside that, they were looking for a company to provide three creative workshops throughout the day, whereby colleagues could sign up and learn about an art form.
Description Title
Crafy Team Building was approached due to their range of workshops and experiences were chosen for their different benefits.
The Zentangle Method was chosen for mindfulness and flow-state practice, origami for empowerment and Neurographica for problem-solving through art and the subconscious mind.
Results
After the day, we provided all the step-by-step guides to the origami pieces, so colleagues could make more in their leisure and perfect their skills.
We also ran a competition to win a bottle of Prosecco.
And with our own art display on show, a lovely colleague bought a piece of art created by Vanessa. That just made my day!
Testimonial
"Thank you so much for the team building yesterday. It was a great success.
We had just under 100 colleagues take part so that was great engagement.
See you in December!"
Brief
The British Red Cross were hosting a company-wide, online wellbeing festival in November 2023 and March 2024 and wanted a morning, mindful session each time for half an hour.
Description Title
They approached Crafty Team Building as we had done a workshop the previous year for them.
We suggested mindful Zentangle drawing, which is a drawing technique that encourages a flow-state and calm.
It is an accessible art form and no prior skills are required. It is about the process not the end result so colleagues enjoy peace and a dive into drawing.
Results
We provided our email address for any questions that the colleagues may have after the workshops.
For example, Amy wrote to us as she wanted to find out more about the art form. She subsequently joined classes at her local library saying "she had discovered her thing."
Testimonial
"That was great as always.
We had some super feedback on how relaxing this session was.
See you next year!"
Brief
A team at Diageo had a wellbeing team away day at Knebworth House.
Their afternoon session was all about wellbeing and so they wanted a team building activity that was beneficial in some way to do with mindfulness.
Description Title
They approached The Together Collective, a team building company, who suggested The Zentangle®️ Method for mindfulness, delivered by Crafty Team Building.
It is a drawing technique, that through repetition, encourages a flow-state and one where you only focus on the task at hand.
Results
I took along blank squares in case colleagues wanted to learn more patterns in their own time.
The client said that colleagues are still talking about the workshop the next day and they have subsequently made photocopies of the blank squares in their communal area for people to use when taking a break 😊.
I also ran a competition to guess the number of paper coils in a piece of artwork. This inspired one colleague to take up quilling again!
Testimonial
"That was great as always.
We had some super feedback on how relaxing this session was.
See you next year!"
