Creative Recycling Enviro-Arts Training and Education Service
In partnership with Warwickshire County Council, Artists in Warwickshire Education and Trees are Green (TaG), CREATES is Warwickshire’s first creative recycling centre for schools, pre-schools, further education and community groups. As a new initiative linking arts and education, the resource has been at its home at TaG, Wedgnock Industrial Estate, Warwick for over 12 months.
CREATES encourages an innovative, and pro-active approach to creativity and environmentalism , exploring reject materials, faulty products and otherwise worthless objects to develop new opportunities for communication and creativity in the classroom and beyond. It is a collaboration between the world of industry, commerce, public authorities, educational and community services, and the world of art, culture and environmental agencies. CREATES is a cultural project - and a place for promoting the idea that waste materials can be used as resources.
