The Up Creative Hub

The UP Creative Community is a collaborative of local artists who offer sustainable textile waste management in Sutton Coldfield. We seek to do things differently, empowering the rejection of fast fashion and excessive purchasing in the mainstream. We collect unwanted and used fabric items and repurpose them adding magic and sending them to their forever homes. Our UPSkill programmes promote skills sharing amongst the community, from teaching basic sewing skills, to pattern cutting, handstitch for repair and for cathartic art. We offer a safe space for creativity to bloom, upcycling garments into unique pieces. We offer the tools to make better choices, to take some one else’s discarded items and make them into something incredibly beautiful and useful.
