Clay Sculpture Team Totem

This is a ClassBento virtual Live/Box class! From the comfort of your home, share an artisan experience with your friends, family or colleagues, or enjoy with like-minded others. Our Live/Box classes have been featured on The Guardian, TimeOut, Broadsheet, Concrete Playground, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Vogue, and more. Here's how it works:

1. Request your preferred time
2. We'll deliver a ClassBento Box to you - this is a physical DIY craft kit containing the materials you'll need. Shipping is free, and it should arrive within 6 days. We ship nationwide.
3. Enjoy the online class. After booking, you'll receive a link to a Zoom meeting. At the time of the class, use that link to join. During the class, you can easily ask questions and get immediate responses. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.

If you’re looking for fun virtual team building activities, look no further! This live Zoom class will have you working in teams and teaches everyone how to sculpt their own unique portion of the team totem to eventually come together with the pieces from the rest of your team to tell the story of your 'tribe'.

This class is perfect for a group of 6 or more people, as you work together to create a totem pole.

Ideally you would have 6 to 10 people contributing to 1 totem pole. If your team is more than 10 people it would be best to split into smaller groups.

A team that communicates well in their design will likely end up with a streamlined totem, and a team that struggles to communicate will get a more random design. Either way the completed totem pole will be the talk of the office.

At the beginning of the Zoom session basic clay sculpting techniques will be explained and shown by your teacher. Each individual in the group will create their own portion of the totem pole and sculpt it from clay. After sculpting, you will then paint your portion of the totem pole with the specialised ceramic paints provided in the kit.

We suggest you then leave your painted clay sculpture to dry for 4 days before securely packaging your creation back into the labeled box. We will organise a courier to collect your box to be returned to us for kiln firing.

Once all your pieces are fired, glazed and fired again we will assemble and ship your finished 'team totem' to your office (or address of choice). Your new creative sculpture will create a great centre piece in reception, board room or even out in a courtyard.

Note: This project requires kiln firing to complete.
Please feel free to contact us if you'd like help in finding your local firing service or return your work to us for firing.
