About re:create
re:create started in Sept 2007 when Rose Scarborough took over a dusty pottery workshop in a room at the back of Berkhamsted Town Hall. Her vision was to provide the town with an arts and crafts centre where everyone would be welcome to come and discover their creativity as a learning experience or simply for general well being.
re:create has grown and expanded and is now open seven days a week providing 13 different classes to over 100 people a week.
re:create also holds workshops in mainstream and special schools in Berkhamsted and across Hertfordshire as well as going into businesses to hold creative eco awareness workshop.
A Community Interest Company
In June 2009 re:create was granted CIC status (Community Interest Company) making it a not for profit organisation for the benefit of the community. It means that the revenue generated by classes can be re-invested in the company enabling it to grow and thereby making arts and crafts available to more and more people. re:create is run to help everyone access the arts, not just those that can afford it.
Volunteers
As a CIC re:create is run for the benefit of the community. If re:create is to continue to grow and so offer more opportunities to more people we will need your help. If you can spare anytime to help in any way we would be enormously grateful. Perhaps you can pop a few leaflets in the library or maybe stay a little at the end of a session to help wash up. Perhaps you have a secret skill that could help. Share that secret. We need you.
If you can volunteer drop us an email or give us a ring. Working at re:create is great fun and very rewarding
