Meet the craft recyclers
At Artcycle we rescue litter from bushes and bins to reshape them into creative fun. We are a family that began to help put an end to the mess in our towns.
By combining my gift as a graphic designer with my experience running a stationery business—plus an unexpected love for litter picking—I’ve found a mission: to empower people, (especially youngsters), to be creative and entrepreneurial.
There’s so much untapped potential in rescued materials. By sparking imagination, we can reshape how we think about consumption and step into our purpose to flourish.
Whilst I walk my dog in my home town of Portchester, I see the mess hiding in our hedgerows and bushes. Our world is filled with God-blessed abundance. The good news is that by reshaping waste into wonder, we can flip problems into solutions.

My aim is to inspire peers to see waste not as a problem, but as possibility. I recently qualified as a wooden boat builder where I learnt practical, problem-solving and witnessed the potential of wood and its miraculous properties to enable the creation from magnificent tree into beautiful seafaring craft.
Like the mustard seed, I know that all change starts small—with one idea, one act, one piece of someone else's rubbish reimagined and reshaped. Through our practical workshops, and as the youngest team member I can share the message of stewardship, responsibility and appreciation of all we have been blessed with.
Jolanta Januszewski
I have been knitting since the age of 10—needles in hand for almost 30 years—and combining 20 years as a graphic designer, I have found joy in stepping away from screens to be creative with my hands. Whether it’s knitting, macramé, or up cycling forgotten objects, I delight in giving materials a second life.
I especially love crafting imaginative projects with my young daughter, using recycled bits and natural treasures gathered on city or nature walks. Once its original purpose has passed—anything can be transformed into something playful, beautiful, or unexpected. For me, creative play isn’t just for children—it’s a lifelong adventure for anyone with a curious heart.
