MODERN CRAFT ACTIVITIES
WHY CHOOSE CRAFT?
A creative craft activity revitalises people, getting them chatting and wondering what’s coming up. It provides just the right amount of challenge and fun, and encourages people to share their own talents and interests.
Benefits for teams
Creative activities at away days and team building events are an excellent way to rediscover your own colleagues. They can change up the usual dynamic of a team, giving unexpected people a chance to shine. Often people talk about their own skills and interests out of work, new relationships can form and a spirit of support and shared endeavour can flourish. Not only that, giving people a new skill and something to take home with them is a great way to say thank you for a job well done.
Benefits for your customers and VIPs
Providing a bespoke creative activity for your customers and VIPS allows them to really immersive themselves in your brand. It sets you apart as providing that bit extra for them by giving them a skill and an experience. Plus, they’ll get to take home something they’re really rather proud of, to show their friends and remember you by.
There are so many creative possibilities that craft can offer, so talk to us to find out what would suit your audience and budget.
HOW IT WORKS
There's a format for every situation, from drop-in crafts that take just ten minutes, personalisation stations or engrossing timed workshops. We're always happy to advise on the best format for your needs so get in touch!
Drop-in activities
Dip in to creativity for a little whiile
We’ll set up a pop-up craft activity at your venue or location, for anyone to drop by and try a creative activity for as little or as much time as they like. Perfect for an invigorating start to the morning, much like pre-work yoga, or for lunch and break out activities.

Timed activities
Learn a skill, and complete your first project
We’ll provide a timed activity lasting from 1-3 hours, where everyone learns a new craft skill together. They complete their first project either as individuals, or in collaboration one project. Activities can focus on mindfulness, socialising, creativity or building working relationship.
