Artopia | Corporate
From Zero to Hero. Within a couple of hours you can go from being a total beginner to completing two abstract artworks. More experienced artists can learn more about this wonderful material - coldwax and oil.
If you just want to try something new and have a fun get together in a non-judgmental environment, come along to Studio Toru, Eastbourne or to Khandallah, Wellington and I'm there with absolutely everything you need. Eastbourne is a lovely venue with some great local cafes, and the beach within 5 mins walk for when we have a break.
If you are planning your next Team Building/Strategic Away Day - you can come over to Studio Toru - or I'll come to your event.

"If you are looking for a great weekend or mid-week activity, then I highly recommend an Artopia session with Beth. I really enjoyed reconnecting with my "creative" side and Beth was a very knowledgeable and attentive art teacher. She is patient and takes the time to demonstrate techniques in a way that is easy to understand. Most importantly, Beth makes sure you have lots of fun! I learned that there are no mistakes in art. You allow your piece to unfold and take a life of its own. I was very chuffed with my final works and felt a great sense of accomplishment!"

The benefits of creativity both on a personal level and in the workplace are many:
-
creative thinking helps to embrace challenges and people aren’t intimidated by the prospect of failure
-
high levels of concentration
-
creative minds play with information instead of just storing it. Instead of simply accepting ideas, they question them, build on them and apply them
-
challenging conformity - so people can easily recognize when established practices could benefit from improvement
-
improves collaboration & helps value preparation
-
comfortable with ambiguity - so able to look for more than one solution to a problem
-
helps people become open to constructive criticism and assess their own work. The feedback helps to improve their ideas and continue to learn
-
See how your colleagues respond to a different situation - learn something new about them
