The Crucible

Create sparks with Corporate Team
Building at The Crucible

Contribute. Collaborate. Create.

Whether it’s a project kickoff, an executive retreat, or a year-end party, the Crucible can offer a unique way to ignite your company’s creative fires. Working with the Crucible’s staff, your teams are guided through hands-on art workshops aimed at rekindling their imaginations, while encouraging them to collaborate in new ways.

Inventive Activities. Inspiring Possibilities.
The Crucible offers several workshops designed to inspire and encourage teamwork and fresh approaches to problem solving. The goal of each workshop is for the team to design and produce their own unique work of art. Each team will create something to take home.

Whether it’s a beautiful handmade glass paperweight or a regal steel throne to display in the company’s lobby, what your team makes will serve as a reminder of the time spent working, learning, and being creative with their colleagues.
