Yesterday we hosted @Deloitte with a virtual team building experience! 🎨🖌🍸 They wanted us to design and create a special bespoke commission around the company's theme of 'Togetherness'.🤝 With remote working becoming the 'new normal' for many in 2020 - What an important and lovely message to send out to employees during this period. 💟 A recent study concluded the lack of close contact hinders three key ingredients in any effective working relationship: The formation of trust, connection, and mutual purpose. 📈 Humans are social creatures and although working from home can make life easier at first, it can actually be detrimental to our wellbeing & mental health.⚖ Do you have team's working remotely? Why not send them an @Artsippers Creative Christmas Box 🎁 + Enjoy a virtual experience "together". 🎄🎅💫 NorteyPitcher 👨🏿‍🎨👩🏼‍🎨 #TeamBuilding#CorporateWellbeing#VirtualEvents#CreativeChristmasBox#Experiences#MentalHealthAwareness#WorkWellbeing#Togtherness#RemoteWorking#SipSipHooray#FunActivities#PaintandSip#ArtSippers

This is our body's automatic response to danger, stress or trauma... And I feel like many of us have been in this heightened state for the whole of 2020! No longer are we all running from the physical threats of the past like saber tooth tigers, but with the coronavirus having a direct impact on our livelihoods and businesses alike this daily threat can feel even more precarious.😐 As 'normal' life becomes more pressured the psychological effects become more apparent on our mental health. We can be in and out of this fight or flight state many times throughout a day, which means we can be 'wired up' almost constantly – with dangerous consequences for our our general wellbeing. ⚖ We all need to take proactive measures to ensure we alleviate stress and anxiety during this uncertain period. By taking regular walks, daily exercise, resting and even limiting screen time to take part in mindful activities like reading or painting. Otherwise these effects can inhibit the immune system, making us more vulnerable to colds, flu, fatigue and infections.🤒 It is important to be kind and compassionate to ourselves and each other to make sure we ALL come out of 2020 fighting!! 🥊 #TeamBuilding #CorporateWellbeing #VirtualEvents #Experiences #MentalHealthAwareness #ArtSippers

As people around the world find ways to keep social distancing. Having a digital workplace is completely revolutionising the way we interact, engage and carry out our business during this pandemic. 👨‍💻👩‍💻 Though there are many advantages to this always connected, instant access, fast and efficient work environment. We are finding that many employees who are working from home are struggling with feeling detached and disconnected from their colleagues.👫🏻👬🏽👫🏻 With remote working reducing our travel time to and from work. Many reports have shown vast numbers of employees are working for extended periods during the day, in unsociable or solitary environments without adequate or zero breaks. This digitization of our workforce is fundamentally changing how we handle work, relationships, and everything in between. With that in mind it may be time to rethink our out-dated team building strategy to match this ever changing environment. Virtual Team building activities can be a great solution for remote teams to keep employees engaged, make them feel valued and on task during this challenging period. #TeamBuilding#CorporateWellbeing#Creativity#ArtSippers

You SIPPERS are simply amazing.... over the last few hours the Go Fund Me 'Community Love & Support' campaign has gone over the mark we had hoped for... Now raising a grand total of £1,042 💫 Yes, I know we didn't unfortunately hit our TOP target... and some of you are sad that you won't get to see me👨🏿‍🎨 or The Stanton👨🏻in the buff😅#LifeDrawing🖌. This is why we have decided to donate 100% of the money to the NHS! 🌈👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ ⠀ ⠀ We can't thank all of you lovely humans enough🤗 for supporting us in a time when it's hard for everyone! Our@ARTSIPPERSjourney to this point has been a bit of a rollercoaster and we appreciate all of you for joining us on this epic ride!! 🎢#SipSipHooray🥂⠀ ⠀ Extra Love & Hugs To You SIPPERS 🤗💟 (A few anonymous donations came in too, we appreciate you!)⠀ Kathryn Aresti|Louise McLean|Chlôe Glover|Olimpia Arista|Faye Shortall|Mary Hughes|Judith Mcinally|Sarah Mac Crossan|Hannah Blewett|Eleanor Letek|Polly Evans|Bev Lung|Libbie Watson|Amy Preston|Rachael Evans|Kate Braithwaite|Gemma Kelly|Katie Wise|Diana Collins|Emma Furness|Jolanta Klimczak|Halima Jafari|Kudzai Chiwereza||Tamarin Giez|Tess HiltonAmy Day|Aimee Hurved|Kerry McInally|Clare McAuley|Marina Lewis-King|Judith Mcinally|Tamarin Giez|Davina Boolaky|Lauren Gourley|Maxine Cooper|Ilhem Oubaiche|Polly Evans|Kate Imogen|Jonny Gibson|Sarah Wilde|Jo Penter|Lauren Adams|Christine Jenkins|Naomi Wharton|Aman Bagri|Patrycja Kant|Stephanie Leigh|Emma Slater|Kevin Doherty|Rachel Martin|Shaun Honan|Santoshi Padhiar|Kudzai Chiwereza|Alice Cust-Hughes|Elise M|George Holder|Rebecca Phillips|Nicole Bailey|Serena Hillier|Tommy Hatwell|Gabija Norkaityte|Madeleine Fairley|Ashleigh Brown|Anisha Doshi|Faye Shortall|Victoria Fernandes|Hali Qureshi|Parveen Moghim|Anisha& Laura Doshi|Joseph McWilliam|Chelsea Hipwood|Ella Pfeiffer|Sarah Alphonse💫⠀ ⠀ NorteyPitcher👨🏿‍🎨👩🏼‍🎨

As like many of you on here. Over the past few days, we've have found ourselves pondering this strange new world 🌍 that we have all entered and have questioned what are the future outcomes to many of our loved industries? The fact is, none of us clearly know what the new landscape of the economy will be like once this has all ended.🤔⠀ ⠀ So, instead of being weighed down with all of the obvious negative news going on right now. We have been pleasantly buoyed by so many positive stories and examples of sheer RESILIENCE and NEVER GIVE UP determination shown by NHS(uperheros) workers, small businesses and individuals trying to EVOLVE & ADAPT to make it through this tough period.💫⠀ ⠀ Change is sometimes uncomfortable, but it's necessary for growth. If we maintain a GRATITUDE attitude and focus on what we have rather than what we have lost, we can use this TIME productively to hone or develop our skills.🔨⠀ ⠀ The key is to work TOGETHER. We see this as a perfect opportunity to collaborate and explore fresh innovative ideas to test our own imagination and creativity.🧐⠀ ⠀ With SUPPORT from the wider community. We have HOPE for what is to come, as when humans are faced with any obstacle or challenge in life; a simple word comes to mind 'STRENGTH' 💟 Elliot & Josie ⠀ S UPPORT ⠀ T IME⠀ R ESILIENCE⠀ E VOLVE & ADAPT ⠀ N EVER GIVE UP⠀ G RATITUDE⠀ T OGETHER⠀ H OPE

Sorry about the delay🤗We took some time out to reconnect with family and friends. What a rollercoaster last year was... The beginning of 2019 started with a redundancy and loss of direction for a career path and after the initial sobbing😪 binge eating🍕 and dragons den watching📺 it lead us to start our own business (something we had always dreamed of doing) @Artsippers - Paint & Sip Experience 🎨🥂⠀ ⠀ ⠀ The aim has always been to encourage imagination and inspire creativity in the public and businesses. So, it has been beautiful to watch just how quickly this small idea has started to blossom over the course of a short few months. 💫⠀ ⠀ There have been many lessons learnt and many highlights including working with global brands such as @Twitter, @SovrnHoldings, @Coach and @Wework. Plus, hosting many special occasions like the surprise birthdays/ hen-dos and our big Christmas Bonanza!🍾⠀ ⠀ But our real excitement and joy comes from us meeting YOU amazing and warm people at our events! You lot made 2019 for us and we are proud to say we have made some life long friends out of this!🤗⠀ ⠀ It is so nice to see that we are steadily building a fun and creative community #SippersSociety and we both feel incredibly lucky to be on this journey with you!💟⠀ ⠀ We now absolutely "love where we work"and literally can't wait to create even more memorable moments in 2020!!🎨🥂#SipSipHooray ⠀ ⠀ #HappyNewYear #Love #SippersSociety #Community #Journey #Gratitude #PaintandSip #Patience #MentalHealthAwareness #Bbcwm#London #ArtSippers
