Sustainability

 

National Sustainability Forum 2011

The 2011 national online forum addresses issues of sustainability within craft and design practice. Sustainability is a multifaceted concept for our sector. The aim of this forum is to identify what the main areas of concern are for makers and to bring these to greater prominence through the voice of the artist. Throughout the year we have featured these stories on the Craft Australia blog and the CA Enews. Over 25 artists from the areas of textiles, design, furniture, jewellry and many more are featured with their unique approach to sustainability. These case studies make for a compelling read as they address a range of issues including upcycling, using renewable materials and generally addressing the broader philosophy of responsible production.
