GREEN CRAFT CODE©
I believe being creative brings joy to your mind & being in nature brings joy to your soul. Combining both passions creates the most wonderful concoction of colour & joy to inspire & enrich your creative life. Which is why I created the Green Craft Code©!
"Getting Creative Whilst Being Green Is Both My Goal & My Dream"
My mission is to empower our creative community to make informed choices. To enjoy creative pieces of art in eco-friendly and innovative ways that celebrate & positively benefit wildlife. To feel confident that as a brand I create with the upmost care.
I strive to provide enjoyable ceramic painting kits & artwork which not only add a touch of fun & adventure into your life, as well as celebrating the wonders of nature, but which also enriches & helps conserve the natural world around us.
Everything I do is with an aim to reduce, recycle & repurpose wherever possible. From my studio, which is powered by 100% renewable energy sources, to it's surrounding nature garden, which provides a wealth of artistic inspiration & beyond into the wider world, where your purchases from ArtyPax help towards global conservation projects.
I am conscious of my actions, considerate of the choices I make and proud of the standard I set.
