EarthCraft was founded in 2022 by a collective of makers, environmentalists, and craft-industry professionals united by a passion for creativity and sustainability. Frustrated by throwaway culture, we set out to empower UK households and schools with the skills to repurpose waste into beautiful, functional objects—reducing landfill, saving money, and fostering environmental stewardship.
Our multidisciplinary team includes professional artisans (woodworkers, weavers, ceramicists), eco-design educators from the Royal College of Art, and zero-waste campaigners. We partner with community centres, museums, and environmental charities across the UK to develop workshops, resource libraries, and pop-up craft labs. EarthCraft’s ethos is built on three pillars: Waste-to-Wealth, Hands-On Learning, and Community Creativity.
Under Waste-to-Wealth, we curate projects that transform common discards—tin cans, wine corks, plastic packaging—into marketable crafts and gifts. Hands-On Learning offers detailed tutorials, safety guidelines, and tool-kits for home, school, or makerspace environments. Community Creativity connects crafters through local meet-ups, online forums, and collaborative installations—such as our annual “Plastic Tide” sculpture made from collected beach debris.

We also maintain an open-source Materials Library: searchable data on upcyclable resources, local collection points, and seasonal natural materials—pine cones, seed pods, fallen branches. Monthly EarthCraft Challenges encourage members to innovate under themes like “Textile Transformation” or “Glass Re-imagined.” By combining artful making with environmental action, EarthCraft nurtures a culture of creativity, resilience, and ecological responsibility across the UK.
