Hey! We’re Lauren and Hannah, best friends for 14 years and co-founders of Craft + Common.

After school, uni, traveling, and working overseas in fashion and hospitality, we decided it was time to team up, put our experience together, and create something of our own.

​

When Lauren moved back home in early 2023, we booked a spontaneous pottery painting catch-up, something we hadn’t done since we were kids. It felt nostalgic, fun, and pretty special. We left feeling inspired… and the very next day, we started planning what would eventually become Craft + Common.

​

We loved the idea of taking a childhood activity we’d always loved and reimagining it for grown-ups - still wholesome, still creative, but with a relaxed vibe, great music, and a wine (or two).

​

Seven months later, in October 2023, we opened our first studio in our hometown of Lytham St Annes. The support we received showed us that what we were doing really resonated with people. With the help of a lovely little team, we opened our second studio in Lymm, Cheshire a year later. Now we’re working on our third, opening in Lancaster in June 2025.

​

At its heart, Craft + Common is about slowing down, getting creative, and connecting, whether it’s a date night, a mate date, or a solo switch-off moment.

​

We’re really proud and have loved every minute of the journey so far. We’re even more excited for what’s ahead. Thanks so much for being part of it!
