WHAT IS THIS PROJECT ABOUT? Remade in Dover is a project which encourages the public to ‘upcycle’ unused or unwanted items by turning them into products/art pieces. A concept store will be the place to come and buy locally produced upcycled items; be inspired by international upcycled pieces; bring your items to workshops to be upcycled into something new; share your knowledge and skills with other people; and also to swap something you no longer use with something someone else has left in the dedicated swap shop area. tell me more
