Team building in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is spread out enough that the best team-building workshop is often the one closest to the office. This guide covers hands-on sessions where everyone makes something to take home: pottery, perfume, glass, woodworking, jewelry, flowers, painting and candles, from Chinatown and Silver Lake to Culver City and Long Beach.

The short answer

A hands-on team-building workshop in Los Angeles costs from about $25 a person to $115 or more at the studios that print a price, before tax and any tip. 6 of the 15 studios below print a price per person; the rest quote by email. 4 will bring the workshop to your office. KraftStories Los Angeles prints the largest in-person group, up to 50 people.

Each studio was read on its own private-events or group page. The price per person, group size and length are what the studio prints; blanks mean it prints nothing and quotes by email.

Studios that print a maximum group appear in every size up to it. One that prints only a minimum appears at that minimum, and one that prints no size is left out rather than guessed; most will still answer an email about a bigger group.

Planning team building in Los Angeles

Measure the drive, not the distanceA Westside team and a Downtown team are not making the same trip at 5pm. Pick a studio within about 20 minutes of the office, or ask whether it can come to you.
Ask about parking in the emailArts District, Chinatown and Silver Lake studios often mean street parking or a paid lot; Culver City and the Valley usually have more. Studios rarely print this on the group page.
Kiln work comes home laterPottery made on the day is fired afterwards, typically weeks later. If the point is to leave with something, pick perfume, candles, flowers, painting or a mobile session.

One request, and a person answers it

Tell us about the team

Date, headcount and budget are enough to start. We run it at a KraftStories studio where one fits, and otherwise pass it to the studio on this page that does, and tell you which.

What the team might like to make (pick any)
Free to ask; nothing is booked until you confirm.

Questions people ask

How much does team building cost in Los Angeles?＋
Among the 15 studios we checked, the lowest printed price is $25 a person and the highest starting price is $115. 9 studios print no price and quote by email. Add sales tax, and ask whether a service charge or a minimum spend applies, because few studios print either next to the headline price.
What team-building activities in Los Angeles work for large groups?＋
Studios that print a capacity of 40 or more: KraftStories Los Angeles (up to 50), Clay on First (up to 50), Flower Duet (up to 50). Larger teams usually split into rotations or two rooms; ask how the time is shared before you book.
Can a workshop come to our office?＋
Yes. KraftStories Los Angeles, Fire Glass Studio, Flower Duet, The Institute for Art and Olfaction say they bring workshops to an office or event space. Travel fees and table space vary, so ask what they need from the room.
Is there a virtual or hybrid option?＋
KraftStories Los Angeles, AR Workshop Torrance, Flower Duet offer an online format, usually with kits mailed ahead of a hosted call.
How far ahead should we book?＋
Two to three weeks is comfortable for most groups under 30. For 50 or more, or any date in December, ask four to six weeks ahead: holiday parties fill studio evenings first.
How does the request form work?＋
It comes to us at KraftStories, and a person reads it. Where one of our studios fits the date, headcount and budget, we run it ourselves; where another studio on this page fits better, we pass your request to them and tell you who it went to. Asking is free and nothing is booked until you confirm.

How this page is put together

Every studio here was read on its own private-events or group page in October 2026, not on a booking marketplace. A price, group size or length appears only when the studio prints it, and every description is in our words. Studios whose pages say nothing about private groups were left off, even good ones; if yours is missing, tell us at info@kraftstories.com.

This site is published by KraftStories, which runs team-building workshops. KraftStories is listed first and labelled as ours; the other studios are sorted by price, and none of them pays to appear.
