The UP Shop

The UP Creative Community is an environmental social enterprise.

We have launched a range of proudly upcycled products which are now available online for you to purchase.

All items are handmade by amazing women who have overcome personal trauma utilising the arts as mindful practice.

Our workshops and sewing classes have empowered and enabled our students to take textile donations and repurpose them in our second chance haberdashery saving textile waste from landfill.

Your purchase directly benefits people and planet.

    • Cover UP- Washable fabric face covering

      £10.00

      Available in Small, Medium and Large.

      Please select your chosen fabric outer.

      Thank You for choosing a reusable fabric face covering.

      If everyone in Birmingham uses just two plastic masks per day that would be nearly half a million plastic masks in landfill, potentially harming the planet, the ocean and our animals!

      Cherish your Planet Cover UPs pay for the growth of our UPSkill programme giving young people tangible sewing skills in North Birmingham in partnership with Chewrished UK and The UP Creative Community.

      The UP Creative Community responded to the global pandemic in March 2020 by making washable face coverings for key workers and foodbanks free of charge.

      As such we have trialed and adapted our pattern and added some extras which make for better coverage and comfort.

      The fabrics we use are predominantly donated, dead stock or end of line meaning we save it from its destined landfill and offer it new life.

      We’ve added a metal nose clip, a pocket for filters and all cherished masks have a “Made with Love” wooden button handstitched.

      When you receive your covering- WASH IT! At 60 degrees.
