Has anyone organized a work event like this?

Hi all. I'm in charge of organizing a team-building event for my office and I'm so tired of the usual escape rooms and happy hours. I want something creative and collaborative where people actually relax and connect, not compete. A pottery workshop came up as an idea and I think it could be perfect for a corporate group. The challenge is finding a place in LA that handles corporate events, can take a decent-sized group of beginners, and makes it easy to book. Has anyone organized a work event like this? Recommendations welcome.

Hi. A pottery workshop for team-building is a breath of fresh air compared to another escape room, people genuinely loosen up around a wheel. I'd suggest the pottery workshop in Los Angeles at Pottery Workshop Los Angeles, they host corporate events specifically and can accommodate groups up to 20 people, all beginner-friendly with no experience needed. Everyone gets hands-on wheel time over a couple of hours and takes home a piece after firing, so there's a nice keepsake from the day. No memberships or enrollment hassle, booking is straightforward. Tip: contact them directly about the corporate package and your headcount, and aim for a weekday afternoon slot, it's easier to fit into work hours and the studio is calmer for a big group.
