the up creative hub
Birmingham
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.
