Permaculture Design Permaculture is a landscape design method based on natural systems. It comes from the two words, "Permanent" and "Agriculture," and was devised by Australian ecologists Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in the 1970s as a response to the increasing industrialization of agriculture. Since then it has expanded to become a sustainable design approach to everything from food and farming, tools and technology, to the built environment, woodland management and community. This course will cover: * Permaculture design principles
* The intensive food garden
* Forest gardens
* The green home
* Sustainable community
* Practical permaculture design Further details...
Sustainable Garment Construction This module is designed to give the student a basic introductory knowledge of garment construction with a focus on the key sustainability issues raised in the process. Students will develop their potential for creativity and self-expression through garment construction; discover how to use sustainable materials and textiles in the construction; and learn how to best communicate their new skills through portfolio and presentation work. This course is delivered by Re-Dress and will commence in Dublin in December (start date to be confirmed shortly). Further details...
