Reporting Back!
Team building day went ahead - we all turned up expecting a jewellery making day but ............... some of the essential equipment was not working so we did a glass designing course instead. Quite involved but really interesting. We learnt how to cut glass into various shapes to make designs - not as easy as you may think.
A few cut fingers but nothing too severe
It is quite amazing what you can do to achieve different effects using different coloured glass and bits of coloured paper, wires etc. Our designs are now being fired and will be ready to collect later in the week. I've already cleared a place on a shelf at home to display my effort
If I can work out how, I may post a photo
If you ever get the chance to attend something like this, you must go. Even if you think your are not artistic - I don't feel I am - but when you start designing, you find yourself so immersed. it is atually quite relaxing.
What I did notice during this day was that people who when in the office together are normally quite hostile to each other, were working along side each other and getting along well and laughing together. I suppose this is the sign of a good teambuilding day and so far now we have returned to the office, I am seeing this 'getting along together' continuing.
