Creative Arts Project
Our Creative Arts project supports people to discover and enjoy a love for art. We consider ourselves environmentally friendly and our focus is driven by how we can contribute to saving the planet.
One of our specialist areas is recycling and upcycling people’s unwanted items to create unique pieces of artwork. Nature is important to us and we have made changes to our environment and outdoor areas to encourage bees, birds and butterflies.
We use a variety of materials to produce some exquisite pieces of artwork such as; ceramics, mosaics, woodwork, painting and glass fusion.
We also run outreach and in-house workshops for both children and adults.
If you require a piece of artwork personalised to you then we would be delighted to take your order.
Come and visit us at:
Creative Arts Project, Unit 37 to 39 Cyprus Street, Oldbury, B69 4XD.
