not-for-profit
We receive no public funding for any of our own work or for the gallery itself, exhibitions, courses or framing services.
We have by own capital, time and endeavor established this creative space.
This is a not-for-profit business - as artists/craftspeople we all earn our living from sales of our artwork, and any balance is invested back in to the running and development of the Gallery space, as well as support in the community, local charities and schools.

Creative Recycling
tries to make something out of household and general waste matter. We do not try to re-use or make something out of every bit of waste, nor use waste in every process. It is about a wider aspiration , and the intention to INSPIRE others to recycle whenever possible and promote sustainable living
In addition to those materials which we recycle, we use woods from sustainable sources and avoid all toxic processes. whenever possible we buy locally to keep transportation to a minimum.
We devote extra to labour costs for the collecting, sorting and cleaning of waste materials in preparation for the re-using processes for example paper- making and glass fusing. This enables us to fully respond to our commitment to recycle.
By working with waste we are promoting alternatives to landfill and incineration using thrown away paper, fabrics, plastics, metals, glass slate, brick, lead and a variety of wood waste..
