The Moss Art Workshop for Corporate Events

The Moss Art Workshop for Corporate Events

Are you tired of the same ole corporate happy hours and events? From paint and sips to cocktail making classes, you’ve done them all. Looking for something creative and new? Then The Moss Art Workshop is the perfect thing to plan this fall and holiday season. Take an hour to disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature.  

The Savage Way has been a leader in the Moss Art industry not only in Charlotte, NC, but across the United States for over 14 years. Our design aesthetic and quality of product sets us apart from other green art companies. Check out some of our work with Truist, Bank of America, Usher and more here. We have pivoted a ton over the years and have carved out the niche that we now flourish in. It’s time that we extend our expertise and love for the art to the masses. 

We are proud to announce that we can now bring our elevated Moss Art experience to your company with our Moss Art Workshops. Hire our expert team to come to your office and host an hour / hour and a half long workshop. All supplies will be taken care of and our team will host you from beginning to end. All we need is table space and an open mind. So whether you are planning your next happy hour, team event, team building moment, or corporate activity at your company, The Moss Art Workshop is bound to wow your employees. 

THE GOAL
We want to spread the knowledge we’ve acquired over the years about the benefits of nature and creating with your hands. We see the direct benefit of what putting your phone away and physically creating something can do for mood, morale and overall contentment with the day. 

In an AI-forward world, more and more of our reality is rapidly changing to be in front of a screen. We are losing touch with Mother Earth and the idea that we are blessed to live on this lush planet. Moss Art is one way to increase your biophilia. Biophilia is “the innate, genetically-driven human tendency to seek connections with nature, plants, animals, and lifelike processes. The concept suggests that our affinity for the natural world is deeply rooted in our evolutionary history and essential for our mental and physical well-being.” Simply hanging Moss Art in your home can bring calming effects. Another way to incorporate nature into your interior design is through wood accents, flowing water, indoor plants, colors of the earth like green, blue, brown, clay, etc. 

The Moss Art Workshop is the perfect antidote to the typical corporate environment; gray walls, cubies, minimal sunlight. We will bring the knowledge and the plant life to your space, and each employee will walk away with their own piece of art that can live at the desk to bring the benefits of biophilia.

Moss Art: Biophilic Design for Workspaces

Moss Art: Biophilic Design for Workspaces

The Savage Way has been creating custom Moss Art for almost a decade now. We create everything from 70′ long moss walls in a corporate lobby to a small moss logo in a coffee shop. No matter the size, the fusion of art and nature is something that fuels us as artists.  There is something magical about the beautiful dance of color, texture, and use of nature to enhance a space. This “thing” actually has an industry term called Biophilic Design. 

By definition, Biophilic Design blends someone’s innate attraction to nature and living things into architecture and interior design. Many modern workspaces seek to integrate biophilic design strategies and the nature-forward approach into their design plans for a variety of reasons; improving employees’ quality of life, meeting sustainability goals and increasing productivity and creativity. Check out this article in House Beautiful to read more on Biophilic Design. 

We have the pleasure of installing these calming elements into tons of workspaces in North Carolina and beyond. Below are some examples of green preserved plant walls in action. Take note of how seeing the lush greenery makes you feel when even looking at a photo… now imagine opening your computer and getting work done while next to a natural element like moss. #Dreamy.

New Spring Moss Art Design for PARA CLT

New Spring Moss Art Design for PARA CLT

PARA CLT is a Charlotte hotspot known for great food, cocktails and gorgeous atmosphere. The owners wanted to bring a different experience to the Queen City and it absolutely gives Miami, New York or Las Vegas vibes. Para is short for ‘imparable’ which means unstoppable and that is what this restaurant is, it’s shaking up the game. They embraced bringing plants and art into their space from local creatives (aka us – The Savage Way) from the onset of their launch. Originally, we created a 12′ w x 8.5′ h gorgeous preserved Fern Wall with the PARA logo centered in gold to set the tone for the dining experience – lush, unexpected, unique. It even garnered a celebrity sighting or two.

The co-owners of PARA are always ones to keep people on their toes and it was time to do something fresh and new for the space. We were elated to be asked again to help bring some natural beauty into PARA. The restaurant group owners asked our team to create a piece that would reflect how we are all feeling about these wild times, and all are proud to showcase it. It’s a preserved reindeer moss piece called: Self Reflection: You are entirely up to you.

More about the piece: 

Self Reflection: You are entirely up to you.

Look at yourself. Like truly stop and take a look in the mirror. Are you showing up daily how you want to? Are you doing your best? Are you using your time wisely? Are you taking care of your health? What in your life is holding you back? How can you be more present for others? What relationships can go deeper? These are the questions you need to answer to be able to better your circumstances. And the beautiful reality is that you get to decide.

You get to choose or choose again and again and again until the change that you dreamed of is your reality. You are entirely up to you. And as a collective, if we all look inward to better ourselves, then we can show up for others in such an authentic and beautiful way. This life will just get better and better the more self reflection we do.
