Waste Stream: Bicycle Inner Tubes
Upcycling is the art of transforming old or waste items / materials into something new, adding value through creativity and design. Items are redirected from landfill, extending the life, creating new purposes and stories in the process. I have been developing my textile upcycling practice for over 25 years. Each piece is a one off and available at my studio-shop Fabrications. I also offers a personalised made to order service called Remember Me.
