Past Projects

HND 2 Art ran a collaborative project/partnership with ReConnect which involved upcycling and selling furniture. ReConnect Glasgow, specialises in the reuse, recycling and upcycling of household items and has a mission statement to “To support a zero waste Scotland, by recovering, reusing and recycling currently wasted resources”.

Students were provided with furniture at no cost and then worked on the pieces to improve the saleability potential. They were then returned to a dedicated, Glasgow Kelvin College branded sales area at the Reconnect showroom next to the Forge. The project was sustainable as it involved recycling already existing furniture which was improved and repurposed to make it more desirable. It was also a collaboration that had potential to continue and grow in the future. Sales of the last session’s product reached over 90% of production.
