Sustainable Design
The Australian Centre for Craft and Design and CLI have made ten short videos on the directors of five outstanding NSW design studios. The directors talk about their use of the design process, inspirations for design and the influence of sustainability on their design work. The interviews are on The Australian Centre for Craft and Design website Object.
School to Work Resources
The School to Work program is a NSW DET initiative to improve the preparation of school leavers moving into the workforce and/or further training. A range of School to Work resources and teaching ideas has been developed to support teachers in the implementation of vocational learning in Textiles Technology.
