Standard Practice

MAKING

Dec 2

Based in Manchester, Standard Practice are a dynamic team of designers and makers who take a DIY approach to the built environment.

Founders, Ben Young, Joe Hartley and Jess Higham seek to actively involve the public as both participant and collaborator in the realisation of their work.

Major projects have included the creation of The Pilcrow, a pub within the NOMA development in Manchester that was built from scratch in partnership with the local community; and Plant, a workshop, gallery and ‘village hall’ space, open for use by the public in the centre of Manchester. Friends of The Good Life Experience, Standard Practice run workshops such as the 'Elevate Yourself’ yourself series, where guests made unique camping stools.
