💍Team Building Idea of the Week: Silver Jewellery Making

Let’s be honest: team building can sometimes feel… a little forced. Another trust fall? Another awkward icebreaker? No thanks. If you’re looking for something that’s actually fun, creative, and memorable, we’ve got just the thing: silver jewellery making at Art Play London.

Why Jewellery Making Works as a Team Experience

It’s hands-on. Everyone gets to design and create their own piece of silver jewellery. No passive spectators, just pure creativity.
It’s equalising. You don’t need any prior skills – whether you’re a natural maker or haven’t touched a craft project since school, everyone starts on the same page.
It sparks conversations. Chatting while filing, polishing, or designing jewellery feels natural, so bonds form without the pressure of “forced fun.”
It’s memorable. Unlike a pub quiz or a dinner out, you walk away with a piece of jewellery you designed yourself – a lasting reminder of the experience.

What happend when the Latham & Watkins team swapped their usual legal pads for silversmithing tools

When the Latham & Watkins team visited Art Play, they picked up our silversmithing tools, and the transformation was incredible. For a group more used to tackling contracts and negotiations, spending a day sketching, soldering and polishing silver rings was a refreshing change of pace.

The workshop gave everyone a chance to step outside their day-to-day roles and express a different side of themselves. Some went for sleek, minimalist designs, while others got bold and experimental with textures and finishes. It was fascinating to see personalities come through in the jewellery – a subtle reminder that creativity exists in all of us, even if we don’t often get the chance to explore it at work.

The real magic, though, was in the atmosphere. Conversations flowed easily over the jewellery benches, with colleagues sharing ideas, helping each other refine designs, and celebrating small wins along the way. By the end of the day, the team wasn’t just walking away with handcrafted silver rings – they left with a stronger sense of connection and collaboration.

The results? Simply amazing. Every ring told its own story, and every participant had something tangible to remind them of the experience. For a firm like Latham & Watkins, known for precision and excellence, it was a joy to see that same commitment shine through in a completely different context – this time, in silver.

What Happens in the Workshop

Hosted in the welcoming Chelsea studio, the Private Silver Jewellery Workshop is led by a professional jeweller who guides your team step-by-step. You’ll:

Learn the basics of silver jewellery making.
Design a piece that reflects your personal style (rings, pendants, or something more experimental).
Use real jeweller’s tools to shape, file, and finish your creation.
Celebrate at the end with a piece of wearable art that’s completely unique.

It’s not just a workshop – it’s a creative journey that brings people together in a way a PowerPoint presentation never could.

Perfect for…

Corporate teams looking for a creative day out of the office.
Start-ups wanting something more inspiring than after-work drinks.
Small businesses seeking a personal, hands-on bonding experience.

Why Art Play London?

Art Play isn’t about cookie-cutter activities. It’s an independent, local studio on the King’s Road that’s all about authentic, creative experiences. The jewellery workshop is designed to be approachable, fun, and meaningful – the exact opposite of the cliché “corporate team day.”
