Upcycling Week was all about living more sustainably and we discovered how to breathe new life into tired, old or unwanted household objects. A crack team of upcycling experts hosted a wide range of exciting hands-on workshops, showing us how to transform unloved items into brand new creations and sharing advice along the way.
