Creation

At Artcycle we rescue litter from bushes and other people's scraps and reshape them into creative fun. Meet the facilitators bringing an end to the mess in a town near you.

Humans are creation by nature. That is the truth. I want to spark imaginations, reshape how we think about consumption and waste and then step-up to our calling and purpose to grow and heal our town together.

I have been a graphic designer for over 30 years—yep, long enough to remember when cut and paste meant scissors and glue. I have lived in Portchester since 1980. During this time I have seen the mess clogging up bushes and gutters. These acts are a cry for healing. The good news we have the answer to flip that problem on its head.

Now, I’m on a mission: to sow the mustard seeds (the smallest of seeds) and watch them grow, then witness a new attitude of rescuing materials and move towards community and stewardship of God's Earth. Amen

Sharon Campbell’s vision is to help young people see waste not as a problem, but as possibility. With a natural talent for transforming discarded materials into beautiful.

Through hands-on demonstrations, she shares her process in a way that's not only practical but truly inspiring. Drawing from years of experience she brings a therapeutic touch to her creative process. Like the mustard seed, Sharon knows that big change often starts small—with one idea, one act, one piece of “rubbish” reimagined and reshaped.
