I've used common room previously and decided to book a class for my sister's baby shower, as a present.
It was a small, private class and everyone said that they really enjoyed it. Everything was provided and Ella was a great tutor. Definitely recommend.

Vicky was an amazing host, talking us through the biology of terrariums before instructing us on how to construct our own. The materials and plants provided were varied and abundant. This was such a good event to do as a team - it was cathartic, yet allowed us all to talk while we were constructing our terrariums.
Thank you Vicky for a brilliant experience!

Really fun workshop! 100% recommend
Had a great time under the expert tutelage of Ella and Vicky!
We booked a private class for some team building with work mates. Everything was taken care of the location was great, all the materials were provided and we took home some really impressive items. I was pleasantly surprised that I could make something so good
The team are already thinking about booking another class!

Fun class! A chance to see what was in the soil we were using was interesting and the terrarium we made was a lot bigger than expected!

Clay Flower Pocket Sculpting Class
*****
Very friendly interactive teachers. Helpful and show us what to do rather than just handout and off you go which I hate. Keep moving round to each table to assist. I enjoyed it.

Flower and Bee Embroidery Class
*****
Great opportunity to create something beautiful from scratch as a beginner.
It was good to interact with class members and tutors alike.
It wasn't always possible for the tutors to be available at each new part so they managed it by going round individually and in small groups which worked around well

Clay Flower Pocket Sculpting Class
*****
I had a lovely time making clay flower pockets and wall hangings with some friends. Ella, who ran the class, did a wonderful job teaching us about the properties of air drying clay and how best to shape and decorate. I really appreciated Ella’s communication about the venue, which changed several times in the week leading up to the booking, and how accommodating she was with rescheduling due to train strikes. I would definitely recommend this as a nice and relaxed activity to try!

We had such a great time. There was such a variety of different plants and various decorations to use inside your terrarium. We got to learn about things you wouldn’t necessarily think about and we got to be as creative as we wanted. Our teachers were so knowledgeable and helpful and really helped everyone get the best out of the experience. I would recommend this over and over again. Thanks for such a great time.

Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful teachers and a lot of options for materials. The terrariums are a really nice big size and there was so much room for customisation. I was a bit hesitant at first because of not so many reviews, but this is just because the class hasn’t gone for long, it exceeded my expectations and now we have lovely closed ecosystems to show off in our home.

Clay Flower Pocket Sculpting Class
*****
I wanted to celebrate my retirement with 3 good friends. Vicky, our teacher, arranged a bespoke class at Cocoa Cabana in Ancoats in Manchester. Superb food and cake and the staff were very accommodating. Vicky did an excellent, fun and informative 2 hour class on Clay Flower Pocket Sculptung. We learnt a lot, had our works to take home and I paid for extras so we now have our own clay etc to do more at home. Excellent value for money and something different to do. We will definitely be having another girlie day learning something else. A big thank you Vicky.

We booked the bespoke quilling workshop as a treat for our paper wedding anniversary! We had an absolutely fantastic time. Vicky - our teacher, was really patient and informative. We had a lovely chat with her as we worked our quilling magic! Would recommend this workshop to anyone!
