Upcycled Metal Art

Waste not, want not, may well sum up the purpose of upcycled art. And why not, imagine creating exquisite crafts from discarded glass, scrap metal, et all. For the artisans from West Bengal, it is a win-win. Not only are they “giving back”, or upcycling, they’re literally turning waste into gold. Sustainable gold. Merely by extending the useful life of materials and, by happy consequence, reducing the amount of waste generated.

After all, turning scrap into craft needs creativity. And recognizing the hidden potential of discarded material needs courage. Luckily, these artisans have both in plenty!
