SCRATCH BUILT PRODUCTIONS

Artswork is a charity that empowers young people through creativity, so they can build a better future – for themselves and others. We run programmes and projects that pave the way for work in the creative, cultural and heritage sectors. We give young people the means to make an impact in their communities, amplify their voices and help them find creative solutions. We provide placements and pre-employment training that could unlock creative careers young people might never have imagined – and much more.

We believe in breaking the mould. We’re here to challenge the mass-produced, the impersonal, and the disposable by championing independent makers, fostering creativity, and creating a real, local alternative to online and high-street retail. Our mission is to provide crafters with a space to sell their work without the barriers of traditional retail while ensuring customers can discover authentic, locally made goods and explore their own creativity through hands-on workshops. We curate a space where people can shop with confidence, knowing they are supporting real artisans and small businesses. We empower people of all ages and backgrounds to explore their creative potential, and offer a relaxed pressure-free shopping experience.
