We are a national, award-winning arts company working with people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to create high-quality participatory art. We use the arts to engage, empower and inspire.


Our professional artists work with children, young people, families and communities, on projects big and small. We work indoors and outdoors, in schools, cultural and public spaces, galleries and museums.


We make astonishing life-size installations from paper and cardboard. Our projects raise confidence, develop life-long skills, connect communities and bring them to life.


We are obsessed with paper and cardboard! Our projects teach people how to make artworks from environmentally-friendly materials, encourage recycling and caring for our planet.


Our free downloadable resource packs and filmed workshops are brilliant arts and crafts projects for kids and families to do together.


UP! is our CPD course in participatory arts for Artists. We share skills, support best practice and help all our artists to develop sustainable careers, whether they are newly trained, mid-career or seasoned pros.
