Using art, design and
fabrication to change lives
Starting from the concept that regular engagement in making is good for us, we use a wide range of creative disciplines. Participants & staff work together to create high quality artworks, furniture, shopfitting and other interior & exterior installations.
Doing things differently
Our approach places the individual at the centre, meeting them where they are and finding routes to realistic and sustainable progress.
Being embedded in our local community we are able to effectively support the holistic needs of participants. We empower individuals to make positive choices whilst supported pro-actively by peers also moving in the same direction.

'EQUANIMITY'
A KINETIC SCULPTURE
FROM MAKING IT OUT
'Equanimity' was designed for a private client by Sean Donoher, who was at the time our Artist in Residence. It was made in our workshop in at Portside Studios by our participants and staff.
Based loosely on the work of Alexander Calder and developed in line with the client's brief, the kinetic nature of the sculpture mesmerises you with the prospect of an eternity of new shapes.
Find out about how we made it and what we could make for you.
