Transformative Awaydays & Team Building

For business and public sector groups – boosting creativity, morale, and productivity in the workplace.

Collaborating with a professional artist fosters creativity, cohesion, and teamwork among staff. The option to spend time in an artist’s studio set in the heart of rural Northumberland, makes the experience all the more memorable.

Participants are guided in exploring and experimenting freely with a range of art materials. All activities are collaborative and often accompanied by music. We create together, working towards at least one finished piece for you to take away. In fine weather, the garden with numerous spectacular viewpoints and places to sit and make art is our inspiration. 

What we help you with

  • Providing a welcoming and stress-free environment for the shared enjoyment of nature, art and creative activities.
  • Getting the most from your colleagues, building a productive sense of community in the working environment.
  • Improving confidence in effective communication.
  • Finding creative solutions to problems. 
  • Strengthening emotional wellbeing across the workforce.
  • Overcoming resistance to change, instilling a positive ‘can do’ mentality.
