CREATIVE & CIRCULAR ENTREPRENEURS

CLOSING THE LOOP

Closing the Loop has been developed by Future Foundry to raise
awareness of the issues of waste and resource depletion, to increase
understanding around the principles and processes of the Circular
Economy and to bring the focus of creative young people towards
finding solutions and generating ideas that could turn into businesses,
artworks or projects.
Each programme includes public events, school workshops and a
month-long free training programme for young people aged 16 to 30,
offering workshops such as sustainable design, waste reduction, digital
manufacturing and business start-up. Research visits to Countrystyle
Recycling Ltd, SWEEEP Kuusakoski and designers Elvis and Kresse
supplied first-hand experience of the overwhelming size (and smell)
of our collective waste problem as well as illustrating some of the
innovative solutions being developed.
The brief is kept purposefully broad to encourage exploration and play,
ranging from designing a new product or service, to upcycling, recycling

or creating events, plays, installations or artworks.

World Café events, Philosophical Inquiry, mentoring and group lunches
provide opportunities to network, collaborate, build confidence and
talk through creative and business ideas.

The programme has taken place in Dover, Sheerness and Gravesend,
creating the first Circular Economy Youth Network in the region.

FUTURE FOUNDRY

Future Foundry empowers young people with self-employment,
freelancing and creative skills, promoting lifelong learning, developing
support networks and encouraging a ‘do it yourself’ approach to career
development.

This profit-for-purpose company aims to address the barriers to entry
facing young people who want a career in the creative industries, and
promotes excellence, bringing young people into contact with inspiring
practitioners, enabling creative business startup and engagement with
contemporary maker and sustainability movements.

In 2017 Future Foundry launched the first Creative Start Up Space
in Kent developing open access to digital fabrication technology for
young people and the wider community.

The team have witnessed how lack of access to space and equipment
for less advantaged young people is one of the most significant barriers

to building a career in the arts and creative industries. Consequently,
creating a space with open access opportunities for young people
to get together, learn new skills, create new work and start creative
businesses has been a long-held ambition of the company.

The company is now bringing together Kent’s creative, environmental
and business sectors to encourage the next generation to develop
innovative ideas, campaigns and products to deliver increased economic,
environmental and social value for themselves and their communities.

“The Circular Economy is a vision of a world where both
the making and using of products wastes nothing. It offers
an alternative to the traditional linear economy (make, use,
dispose) and aims to keep resources in use for as long as
possible, extract the maximum value from them whilst in use,
then recover and regenerate products and materials at the
end of each service life.” WRAP



“Across the UK, young people are leading the charge in launching
successful start-up businesses, so Gravesham Borough Council is
delighted to be working in partnership with this exciting programme.

Our hope is that the young people taking part will become young
entrepreneurs of the future and will want to be involved in the next
stage of the planned town centre regeneration.”

Melanie Norris, Communities Director, Gravesham Borough Council.

What’s Next?
Circular Kent — Creative Future Proofing

Global warming, resource depletion, the Circular Economy – these are
powerful narratives and, as a culture, we need to use every resource
we have available to tackle the problems we face, especially our
imaginations, our inventiveness and our lateral thinking. We need to
inspire and include everyone in seeking solutions, to take the circular
economy out of the realm of experts (RSA) and into the hands of
children, entrepreneurs, artists and communities — to create surprising
interactions, memorable stories and clear first steps, to fire imaginations,
inspire inventions and get truly hands on.

Circular Kent will draw on the principles of the Circular Economy to build
a Kent-wide youth and community programme to raise awareness of
global issues regarding waste and resource depletion and challenge
people to find creative solutions which are relevant to Kent communities,
but which might also inform wider national and international thinking
and influence policy change.

The creative and cultural sector has a compelling arsenal of skills at
hand, which Circular Kent aims to harness, from creating compelling
narratives to devising memorable interventions and shareable wow-
factor videos and images.  As a community of influencers, placemakers,
communicators, innovators and agents of social change, the creative
sector has the ability to influence attitudes and behaviours, and to raise
awareness through powerful messaging and engagement.

Future Foundry is working in partnership with both the Culture and Waste
departments at Kent County Council and Countrystyle Recycling Ltd,
one of the county’s leading waste management companies to develop
this highly innovative social value programme.

Charlotte Carter
I am a graduate in animal conservation, living like a bird and winging it through
this stage in life.

The best bits about the programme are first-hand expert training in creative
processes, and generous support for the individual in their projects, where help
with problem solving is consistently provided. 

Attending Closing the Loop has been very important for my growth as
a confident artist, because not only has the kind words and supportive
network helped me with conviction in my own ideas, but it has shown me
that people in my community have an awareness and consideration for
sustainable behaviour.

employment and I am a youth worker within a young offenders’ prison. I’m
also studying a higher education diploma and aspire to become an art therapist
with my own community arts centre. 

Closing the Loop has been fantastic — it’s my first step towards my end result.
I have gained so much from attending, and it has generated brilliant ideas
for expanding a community arts project I founded called Bee-In, based on
self-love. The idea now is to create a space for people to express themselves
through transforming waste into works of art. Closing the Loop has taught
me practical skills in screen printing, canvas designing and embroidery. It’s
inspired me to continue my quest of my vision of creating art for all.

I am vegan, and very passionate about the environment I live in and now I feel
fully equipped to make a positive impact to everyone I meet and everything I
create, and it’s thanks to Closing the Loop.

where I create art on canvas and other
surfaces (which I’ve been doing for
almost six years now).

heard of before) and some ways
I could incorporate different
techniques such as paper making,
screen printing, lino block printing
and upcycling.

The most outstanding moment of
Closing the Loop was visiting Elvis
and Kresse who use old fire hoses to
make bags and belts and scrap leather
to create really cool door stops!

I started working on a line of tote bags
made from trousers and skirts from
the charity shop that will be covered
in a repeat pattern of screen printed
uteruses, which I’m going to call “Full
Flow”, inspired by the fact that in
the society we live in, talking about
women’s/girls’ bodies is taboo, which
then makes some of us feel like we’re
alone in what we’re going through and
can’t share our stories. So I’ve decided
that the best way to bring this issue
out of the shadows is to put it right in
the eye of the public.

Charlotte Cook
I am 22 years old, unemployed and looking
for a job. I like to craft many different items.

Through Closing the Loop I have learnt
how to develop my designs of endangered
animals into prints that I’ve put onto fabrics
and cards. 

I am passionate about endangered animals
and have been working with Jack Cummins
to create a range of artworks and products to
raise the profile of those most at threat and
donate 10% of our profits to charities working
to save animals. Closing the Loop showed us
how to use donated and waste materials to
create our pieces.

I have learnt to sew the fabrics together to
create a blanket for the Closing the Loop
showcase. My best part of the programme
was learning how to screen print onto old
fabric and turning it into something beautiful.

In the future, I plan to continue making
more items and continue working with
Future Foundry to start my own business.

Jack Cummins
I am 23 years old. I work in McDonalds
and this has helped me develop my
communication skills — for me the
most enjoyable part of the job is
talking to customers.

I’m a creative person but haven’t
had the opportunity to undertake
any training. Closing the Loop has
helped me get better at drawing
and design, gain skills in crafts and
ideas. I have started a business with
Charlotte Cook creating artworks
and products designed around
endangered animals, which we
are both passionate about. We are
donating 10% of our profits to animal
charities.

Going to the recycling plant changed
how I thought about the materials I
could use and inspired me to not just
use waste but to create new materials
from it. I didn’t know you could make
paper and this has been one of my
favourite things.

I’m showcasing my handprinted
screenprints of endangered animals
and my ‘Love, Hope and Teamwork’
banner, which is what I think we’ll
need to save the planet and the
animals. I will also be demonstrating
papermaking and talking to people
about the Circular Economy.

Andy Steward
I am currently studying illustration and
animation in Canterbury, progressing
into my final year come September.
I have a number of areas  of interest
such as printmaking, ceramic sculpting
and puppet making for stop-motion
animation.

I am a recent addition to Closing the
Loop, which I joined to gain some
more experience and get involved in
the various opportunities that Future
Foundry offer young people.

I was unaware of the circular economy
side of the programme, but was
pleasantly surprised as I have based
previous projects on environmental
issues. In the short time I’ve attended it
has educated me on ways to ensure as
little waste as possible.

I have made a prototype puppet, made
from rubbish collected on the streets
of Gravesend. Going forward I plan
to develop this to create a short stop-
motion animation, advertising the
importance of reusing materials

Jasmine Ellie Brown
I am a recent addition to the programme, which fits perfectly with the work
I’ve been developing during my degree course at UCA Rochester. I’m looking
forward to being more involved in the next stage of the programme.

My work focusses on social and political issues, this series in particular was
based entirely around feminism and female empowerment. I found a lot of
inspiration in how badges have been used over the years at the forefront of
protests and political movements to show which side of the argument you are
on, and more recently the resurgence of enamel pin badges becoming more
popular with the millennial generation.

Over the past two years my work has focused on various social and political
issues ranging from animal rights, feminism and environmentalism. The use
of environmentally friendly and sustainable materials has always been
important within my work, even if the concept wasn’t soley focused on
the environment as a topic, I always make an effort to use environmentally
conscious materials when and where I can. I aim to create work that is bright,
fun and inclusive whilst trying to minimise my impact on the environment
around me.

Chris Armitstead
I am 18 years old and I live in Gravesend but was born in London. At the age of
11 I was made aware by a school nurse that I was on the brink of being obese.
This along with other factors made me want to change my body and between
the ages of 11 and 15, I taught myself about nutrition, portion control and
exercise and gradually lost the weight.

I have recently left college after studying engineering and IT. My idea is to
bring together my personal experience with my engineering approach and IT
knowledge to develop a system to help people struggling with their weight. To
enable them to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight and new approach
to eating and exercise.

I want to share my system so that I can positively impact people’s lives as well
help with the obesity issues we suffer today.

At Closing the Loop I worked with the team to bring together my ideas and
develop the first outline of my system. The approach of Closing the Loop
also highlighted the levels of food waste and food poverty and whether I
could design my food education system to also address these issues.

Lauren Jade Holmes - IO Arts, History & Disability
Since Closing the Loop, IO Arts, History & Disability has really taken off! The
programme helped me gain a huge amount of confidence and reassurance in
my abilities to be able to start up a creative enterprise and provided me with
the support, skills and insight needed to help put IO Arts, History & Disability
onto the local arts and education map.

IO Arts, History & Disability works with adults with learning difficulties by
providing educational tours at cultural heritage sites and events and arts-
making workshops. In the last few months we have established a monthly Craft
Club; worked with Whitstable Biennale in giving a fun and ‘hands-on’ tour of
the art around Whitstable as part of the festival and ran a related workshop;
and worked with Whitstable Oyster Festival and The Horsebridge Centre in
building works to hold up during the Oyster Festival parade. We have a couple
of craft stalls coming up soon and will be showing off all of our participants’
amazing works at an IO Arts, History & Disability exhibition at Beach Creative
in February!

We have been working hard at introducing the idea of the importance of
recycling in our workshops and show ways to reuse materials in our art
practice, using mostly donated materials that would have otherwise been
thrown away and asking participants to look out and collect materials
before sticking them in the bin.

Liam Todd
I am a 19-year-old clothing designer based on the Isle of Sheppey. Closing the
Loop has been a brilliant experience for me as I’ve learnt so many new methods
of creating designs and have enjoyed working alongside Sam Giles who helped
me develop my ideas to a finished handmade product.

The programme really opened my eyes to waste by looking at the circular
economy and I’ve started to think about sustainability. Working with the
other artists has broadened my knowledge of how to make, encouraging
me to try new techniques and become more experimental and daring.

I would like to find a t-shirt printing apprenticeship and to carry on building my
business, using what I have learned. I would also like to find community projects
to get involved with.

THE BIG IDEA:
WASTE FASHION INCUBATION HUB

Some big ideas have come from Closing the Loop!
Future Foundry is developing the next stage of this exciting and innovative
programme in partnership with the Closing the Loop network of Disruptive
Entrepreneurs and Kent County Council. An ambitious programme of events
and initiatives to take place during 2019, the DEFRA Year of Green Action and
growing from ‘The Big Ideas’ generated by our young makers during Closing
the Loop.
A collection of ‘The Big Idea’ banners have been created by Jack Cant and Sam
Giles to illustrate some of the ideas that are being taken forward. The Waste
Fashion Incubation Hub is one example: a Kent-wide network of young makers
all using found materials and waste as the starting point for their designs.
