Thoughtfully designed craft workshops and creative socials that bring residents together through relaxed, elevated experiences.

Creating Meaningful Moments for Modern Communities

Melissa Monica Design creates warm, design-led creative workshops for Build-to-Rent developments across Birmingham and the West Midlands.

From cosy candle painting evenings to stylish resin jewellery workshops, each experience is carefully curated to help residents connect, unwind and create something beautiful to take home.

Whether you're planning a one-off event or looking for ongoing seasonal programming, workshops are designed to feel welcoming, memorable and stress-free for your resident experience team.

Looking to bring people together in your build-to-rent community, workplace or wellbeing programme?

Craft workshops are a popular way to help residents or teams connect, unwind and try something new.

Workshops are beginner-friendly, creative and relaxed, with no prior experience needed. All materials are included, so all you need to do is provide a space to host the workshop. 

 From candle painting to wreath making, each session is designed to feel calming and joyful, giving attendees a real sense of accomplishment (even if they say they’re “not creative”).
