Best Team Building Activities in San Francisco's Financial District for Groups of 10–50

FiDi teams have options — escape rooms, cooking classes, axe throwing, rooftop bars. Most of them feel like the same few categories reshuffled.

Craft for Team's FiDi studio offers something most people haven't done before: a hands-on craft workshop in a lineup that includes pyrography, marbling, clay sculpting, and perfume making. Here's the full breakdown for groups of 10–50.


1. Wood Burning (Pyrography) — Best for: Teams that want to make something lasting

Wood burning uses a heated stylus to etch designs into wood — from clean geometric patterns to freehand illustration. The studio provides pre-drawn templates for participants who want guidance, and blank boards for those who prefer to design their own. The finished piece looks like something you bought; it's not.

  • Duration: 1–1.5 hours

  • Group size: 40–50

  • Takeaway: A custom wood-burned panel

  • Best for: Creative teams, design teams, anyone who responds well to precise, focused work; makes a strong desk or wall display

2. Marble Painting — Best for: The visual impact moment

Marbling involves laying premium paints on a water surface and pulling color through it with combs, brushes, and styluses to create flowing, irreproducible patterns. No two finished pieces look alike. The process is visually dramatic — watching it happen is almost as engaging as doing it.

  • Duration: 1–1.5 hours

  • Group size: 40–50

  • Takeaway: A custom marbled print

  • Best for: Client entertainment events, design teams, "wow" moments; works beautifully as framed office art after the event

3. Air Dry Clay Sculpting — Best for: Getting fully absorbed

Clay sculpting in an air dry format means zero kiln, zero waiting, zero sending it away. Participants sculpt and decorate their pieces during the session, taking them home to dry. The result is a handmade ceramic-style object — vessels, figures, abstract forms — that holds its shape permanently.

  • Duration: 1–1.5 hours

  • Group size: 40–50

  • Takeaway: A custom sculpted & decorated clay piece

  • Best for: Teams that want full creative latitude; people who find repetitive/patterned crafts less interesting; anyone who's always wanted to try pottery but doesn't want to commit to a kiln

4. Mosaic Art — Best for: Structured creativity

Thirty-plus tile colors, a base, and a design to fill in. Mosaic art balances choice (which colors? what pattern?) with structure (the grid is there, the technique is learnable). Beginner-friendly with results that look more complex than the process warranted.

  • Duration: 1–1.5 hours

  • Group size: 40–50

  • Takeaway: A custom mosaic tile art piece

  • Best for: Mixed groups where some want guidance and some want to freestyle; great for people who liked puzzles as a kid

5. Perfume Making — Best for: A full sensory experience

Participants work with 30 essential oils to build a custom fragrance — top notes, middle notes, base notes — guided by an instructor who explains the architecture of scent. The result is a personal perfume blend they take home same day. The studio smells extraordinary during the session.

  • Duration: ~1 hour

  • Group size: Flexible

  • Takeaway: A custom fragrance blend

  • Best for: Client appreciation events, team milestones, anyone in beauty, wellness, or sensory-adjacent industries; universally enjoyable regardless of craft experience

6. Aromatherapy Blending — Best for: Teams that need to reset

Aromatherapy blending walks participants through the science and craft of essential oils — which plants, what effects, how to combine them for a specific purpose (calm, focus, energy). The session is informative and hands-on, and the result is a custom blend the participant made for themselves.

  • Duration: ~1 hour

  • Group size: Flexible

  • Takeaway: A custom aromatherapy blend

  • Best for: High-stress teams, wellness offsites, events with a mental health or wellbeing theme; also great for people who want to understand why essential oils work, not just use them
