Teambuilding Programs
Corporate Teambuilding
GoggleWorks’ Teambuilding Workshops are arts-based, interactive activities that provide the opportunity for your team members to work together to achieve a common vision while building camaraderie and boosting morale. Led by professional artists, our workshops will challenge your team to try their hands at something new – whether it be ceramics, fused glass, glassblowing, painting or photography.
GoggleWorks’ beautiful buildings provide a unique setting and a relaxed atmosphere for a memorable, creative and productive experience for your team, encouraging colleagues to see each other from a different perspective, build trust in each other and pave the way for constructive, meaningful communication in a fun and energizing way.
Past clients have included Carpenter Technology, Concern 4 Kids, Coventry Corners, Godiva Chocolatiers, Kutztown University, Penske, Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products, and Stevens & Lee.
Hot Glass Demonstration
A demonstration in GoggleWorks´ Hot Glass Studio.
GoggleWorks offers demonstrations in its Hot Glass Studio, highlighting techniques specific to the medium. Watch as the artist instructor demonstrates skills, explains how to use tools and details how a piece is created from start to finish.
Glassblowing Demonstration
1 hour in length.
Up to 100 guests. $200.
Fused Glass Workshop
2 hours
Up to 15 participants: $300
Up to 20 participants: $375
Learn to cut and layer bits of brightly colored glass., which will be fired at high temperatures in a kiln and will fuse together to make beautiful glass tile mural. The group will develop a theme and then split into smaller groups to create a portion of the mural. Each team must communicate with the adjacent team, as well as with their team members to create a continuous, flowing composition. The mural tiles will work as individual pieces, but also within the group of pieces as a whole mural.
Your complete project will be available for pickup 1-3 weeks after your workshop.
Painting a Masterpiece: Mona Lisa
2 hours
Up to 15 participants: $250
Up to 20 participants: $300
Communication is key in this hilarious workshop that will test both your listening and communication skills. The group will break off into teams, and each member will take turns as a lead painter – blindfolded. Team members will guide their lead painter to complete a painted portrait, testing the strength of their communication skills. Participants rave about the collective experience, identifying each others strengths and positive qualities. Groups will have time after the exercise to spruce up their portraits, add backgrounds, and enjoy each other´s work.
Ceramics Workshop
2 hours
Up to 15 participants: $300
Up to 20 participants: $375
Participants will enjoy the stress relieving properties of clay, as they build and sculpt with their hands. We´ll create our own individual tile, as well as work together to create a collaborative piece – stackable “totem” pots, or a group sculpture, in red terracotta clay. We can explore the themes of the day, while working in teams. Stackable totem pots, or group sculptures can create a sense of unity while retaining each person´s individuality. Artistic flair then comes alive as the senses provoke the individuals into creating a “true” piece of art.
Your complete project will be available for pickup 1-3 weeks after your workshop.
Musical Canvas
2 hours
Up to 15 participants: $250
Up to 20 participants: $300
Similar to the familiar game of musical chairs, we move, as teams, from station to station. However, instead of sitting in chairs, we perform different activities that serve as catalysts to spontaneous and intuitive thinking, through several unconventional means. For example, at one station, we paint with a broom, at another with palette knives, and at another with turkey basters. The point is to be free of detail and technique, even if just for a moment, and fall back into a moment of discovery and innovation.
