Group Team Building Workshops

Team Build Workshops are designed for corporate, nonprofit, and private gatherings of colleagues, co-workers, or friends. These fun, hands-on experiences foster camaraderie, boost team morale, alleviate stress, and ignite creative thinking. Our diverse workshops offer opportunities to learn new skills in jewelry making, glass blowing, leather working, woodturning, and more. Workshops are scalable and customizable to meet the needs of any group, from six to 150 people.

The Crucible is a nonprofit dedicated to making the fine and industrial arts accessible for all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Your financial support through our Team Build program helps fund our Creative Economy Pathway Program for youth and young adults.

What kind of Team Build are you looking for?

Crucible Team Builds are priced per person, a 50% deposit is required at the time of booking.

Each team member makes their own project to take home or display in their workspace. The larger the group, the more areas teammates will have to choose from. Prices vary per workshop.

Work together to create a team project! Render your company logo or another image of your choosing in glass, or create a hanging “quilt” of ceramic, enamel, and metal tiles.

Two- and Three-Hour Team Build Workshops

In two- and three-hour workshops, each team member will learn new industrial art skills while completing a personal project. The larger the group, the more areas your team can explore. Multiple, simultaneous workshops can be scheduled within a single booking. We ask that you book your Two- or Three-Hour Team Build at least two weeks in advance.
