Creative outreach workshops in Fareham & Portchester
Artcycle is a non-profit organisation that brighten lives by bringing single-material creative reuse and sustainable art and craft activities to local communities. We work with schools, charities and community groups in the Hampshire and Solent area.
Craft with a purpose
Through a faith-based Christian ethos, we bring together a nurturing approach to creativity and stewardship. Participants enjoy the challenge of making beautiful things from discarded materials. Through our community we help others develop new skills, and discover an endless potential.
Our work is about giving hope, develop confidence and create cleaner, and more joyful towns to thrive. Our aim is: creative reuse to brighten lives, by inspiring the next generation.

Artcycle outreach workshops
Enjoy sustainable creations at your residential or care home, school, charity group or club with Artcycle's engaging craft recycling workshop.
Our mobile sessions are developed to inspire the reuse potential of a single recycled material,. Sessions help participants rethink new ways to reuse everyday resources. We bring everything ready, including cleaned recycled materials, equipment and worksheets, so your group can focus
on creating.
Each session includes a step-by-step guided activity, with projects tailored to suit the age, experience and abilities of your participants. We welcome both children and adults and adapt cohorts needs of your group.
Our experienced workshop leaders are DBS Enhanced checked and First Aid trained, giving you peace of mind while your group gets creative.
Whether you're looking for an enrichment activity, a sustainability project or simply a fun hands-on creative session, Artcycle brings the workshop to you.

Birthday party workshops
From waste bin to a classroom aquarium
Since 2024 we have been promoting stewardship through single-stream workshops and environmental events. More recently, Artcycle teamed with Wicor Primary School in Portchester to reach children, by helping them understand the potential of waste materials, through the creation of a Botfish puppet. Giving hope and joy through reuse.

Thank you so much — we really appreciate you coming in. The children absolutely loved the session and were so proud of their Botfish creations. Thank you too for the resources — we’re looking forward to using them and building on what you’ve started. We’d love to welcome you back in the future and will certainly pass your details on to the junior school. Thanks again for such a lovely experience.
