Art workshops and team building events

Testimonials

“Our team hosted a Desk Buddy Team Building Workshop with Maya’s Illustrations, and it was our favorite team building experience ever.

Maya was super patient and kind with folks. For folks with no artistic background to our experienced product designer, everyone was able to follow along and create desk buddies we were proud to take home. It was a great creative outlet and we would do it again in a heartbeat!”

About my workshops

I love to teach and hold space for others to engage with their creative selves. I have taught workshops and classes with tech employees, high school youth with learning disabilities, college students, grocery store employees, Central American refugees, older adults, and everyone in between. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I am eager to meet the needs of your group and truly love sharing art and creative practice with others!

I work with you to customize each workshop to create the ideal experience for your group. I provide artist-grade materials, join your group on site, and do a complete setup and clean up of the space. Even if you have an idea outside of the parameters of what you see below, please feel free to reach out via the booking form below and we can discuss your needs! I’m always happy to find creative ways to collaborate.

Desk Buddy Workshops

In my most highly requested workshop, participants sculpt, bake and paint their own polymer clay desk buddy. I guide participants through the sculpting and painting process while they have a chance to relax and engage creatively with their friends and colleagues.
These workshops are 3 hours long and can accommodate up to 24 participants. All materials provided.

Paint & Sip Evenings

The versatile and trendy paint and sip night is a great choice for private social events and team building sessions. I provide basic acrylic painting guidance, and a Pinterest-worthy setup, while participants chat and enjoy their paintings.
These workshops are 2 hours long and can accommodate up to 24 participants. All materials provided.

Doodle Parties

Groups participate in guided art games and challenges designed to unlock creativity and help participants get to know each other. Everyone takes home a small sketchbook and a reinvigorated imagination!
These workshops are typically 1-2 hours long depending on group preference and can accommodate up to 30 participants. All materials provided.
