ABOUT US
Collection of art and craft supplies including yellow pipe cleaners, colorful paint jars, and miscellaneous items in organized bins and shelves.

Artytime is a community arts project based in Crowborough and run by volunteers.

Our Scrapstore is at the heart of what we do, offering recycled materials for members to use in their art and craft projects. This helps reduce waste while inspiring imaginations across the community.

Artytime Scrapstore runs from a converted ex-toilet block and houses all manner of creative resources. It’s a welcoming, creative space for everyone whether you are an artist, a parent,a teacher, or just feeling inspired. Since we opened in 2019 we have saved approximately 18,000 tonnes of useful art and craft items from going to landfill.

OUR NEXT CHAPTER

As a not-for-profit, community-minded organisation, we are always looking ahead. Our latest project is to expand the Scrapstore creating more space not just for materials but for in-house craft sessions in a purpose-built facility. This will give even more people the chance to get creative, learn new skills and build confidence, wellbeing and friendships.

We appreciate any donations to bring our vision to life. For the latest updates and news on our projects, check out our Facebook page
