Our wonderful team have been running therapeutic community art workshops and courses including Filmmaking, Mosaics, Willow Weaving, Free Form Art, Photography, and targeted arts provisions (enabling community cohesion for local housing associations, addiction rehabilitation centres, tackling NEET, anti-social behaviour, and SEND sensory issues), since 2005.
We’ve built a beautiful, welcoming community based on the positive impact creativity has on mental health and wellbeing.
Following feedback from our community, we incorporated as a not-for-profit Community Interest Company in early 2025, to help more people struggling to access support.
We create safe and welcoming spaces where people from all walks of life can come together, explore new passions, and socialise.
We aim to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and free to express themselves creatively. Our community offers a supportive network where you can find inspiration, encouragement, and meaningful connections. We believe that creativity has the power to bring unite people.
We actively prioritise reusing and recycling materials sourced from local businesses that would otherwise end up in landfills. From scrap paper to discarded wood, fabric, and paint, we transform these materials into beautiful, meaningful creations that are kept, sold or exhibited.
Not only does this reduce waste, but it also inspires our community to think creatively about the environment and their own consumption habits, making art not just a form of expression, but a way to contribute to a more sustainable future.
Creativity has been scientifically proven to improve mental health and wellbeing.
Getting involved with art can lower stress, boost happiness, promote social relationships, and aid self-discovery.
Come and join us for fun and a beautiful support network!
