About us

 


Hi there! We're Vicky and Ella, the founders of Common Room Social Workshops.

We set up Common Room in 2022 driven by a shared love for crafts, a passion for wellbeing, and an appreciation for beautiful pieces for the home.

Vicky, a biology teacher by trade is not only a dedicated mother of two but also a champion for positive mental health and wellbeing. Her volunteering experience in this realm adds a compassionate touch to our workshops as well as an underlying element of learning and education.

Ella, with a background in interior design and a flourishing house and garden plant business, Ellas Garden, brings an aesthetic flair.  She’s a pro behind the camera, and has a fantastic eye for detail that ensures our workshops are not just about crafting but also creating visually stunning pieces you’ll be proud to show off in your home and on your grid.

We're located in South Manchester but offer workshops across the Greater Manchester region and beyond!

Common Room Workshops in Manchester redefine crafting experiences! Join us for craft workshops designed for every occasion – from memorable date nights and friend gatherings to unforgettable hen dos, stag parties, special occasions, bridal showers, and birthday celebrations.
