Reusing unwanted materials as Art & Educational Supplies

 

ReCreate is a social enterprise making art materials and educational supplies affordable and accessible to every sector of the community for all kinds of creative purposes. 

The project is based around the concept known as Creative Reuse which encourages the public to reuse materials that would normally be thrown away in all kinds of creative and inventive ways. We source clean, reusable materials from businesses all over Ireland and supply these as arts and crafts materials and educational play resources for early years, primary/secondary schools, individual artists and students, families, community and special needs groups.

Membership is open to anyone and gives unlimited access to materials. Members pay an annual subscription fee and in turn have unlimited access to the materials stored in ReCreate’s Warehouse Of Wonders (WOW).
