News - Artistic Hands– Ruiwo Sales Department’s DIY Activity

To foster teamwork and create a memorable shared experience, the Sales Department embarked on a DIY pottery and plaster painting team-building event on March 28, 2025, at a pottery workshop in Xi’an, China. This creative journey allowed team members to step away from their daily routines, engage in hands-on artistic expression, and strengthen their connections in a relaxed setting.

Adding a unique touch to the event, we welcomed a special international guest—a Russian client—who joined us in this artistic adventure. Her participation enriched the experience with cultural exchange, making the day even more special.

From Clay to Creation: The Pottery Experience

Under the guidance of a professional instructor, participants discovered the beauty of pottery-making. Starting from clay preparation, they learned the techniques of kneading, shaping, and wheel-throwing, turning raw clay into personal works of art.

As the pottery wheels spun, so did the excitement in the room. Some participants skillfully shaped cups and bowls, while others experimented with unique and abstract designs. Laughter and friendly competition filled the air as colleagues shared tips, playfully critiqued each other’s work, and celebrated small victories.

Our Russian guest took on the challenge with great enthusiasm. She watched attentively, carefully molding the clay while exchanging thoughts on Russian and Chinese craftsmanship. With patience and determination, she successfully shaped her first piece, exclaiming, “This is truly an art—it’s harder than it looks, but so rewarding!”

By the end of the session, each participant had a personalized piece of pottery, carrying both their artistic expression and the memories of shared moments.

A Splash of Color: Plaster Painting Fun

Following the pottery session, the team moved on to plaster painting, adding yet another layer of creativity to the day. A selection of plaster figures, decorative ornaments, and mini sculptures awaited, ready to be transformed with vivid colors and imaginative designs.

Everyone dove into their artistic side, carefully selecting color palettes and painting intricate details. Some opted for soft pastel shades, creating elegant, minimalist designs, while others embraced bold, vibrant hues, making their pieces pop with personality.

Our Russian guest chose a miniature architectural model and infused it with the colors of her national flag—blue, white, and red. As she painted, she shared stories of traditional Russian folk art, sparking an engaging discussion about global artistic styles. Her admiration for her colleagues’ work was evident as she praised their creativity: “Each of your designs tells a story—it’s amazing to see so many different styles in one room!”

As the paintings dried, everyone took the opportunity to admire each other’s work, exchange compliments, and reflect on the joy of creating something unique.

Strength in Creativity, Unity in Diversity

This team-building event was more than just an artistic workshop—it was an experience that brought colleagues closer together, encouraged self-expression, and celebrated cross-cultural connections.

The presence of our Russian guest added a special international dimension, allowing for a deeper understanding of different artistic traditions while showcasing the company’s inclusive and globally connected work environment.

Beyond the clay and paint, the day was filled with genuine laughter, teamwork, and a shared appreciation for creativity. One team member reflected, “It’s incredible how a simple activity like this can bring people together. It reminds us that creativity is not just about art—it’s about connecting with others.”

The event wrapped up with a group photo session, capturing the smiles, the friendships, and the wonderful creations that made this day unforgettable.

Looking Forward to More Meaningful Experiences

As the Sales Department continues to grow, so does our commitment to building a positive and inspiring team culture. This DIY pottery and plaster painting event was a reminder that in both art and work, collaboration and creativity go hand in hand.

We look forward to more exciting team activities, where we can create, connect, and celebrate together.

Until next time—keep growing as a team!
