Sustainability Through Film and Fashion 🎥 This month students from Carlisle College’s media and art courses have been exploring sustainability through a range of innovative projects, from producing films about global environmental issues to transforming garments through creative deconstruction! The brief challenged Art students to take existing garments apart and reconstruct them into entirely new pieces, encouraging them to think about reuse, sustainability and the life cycle of materials. Many of the students began the project with no previous sewing experience, learning fundamental skills such as threading a needle and working with fabric for the first time. As part of the project Media students are also working with the Centre for Leadership Performance Cumbria and Leading Change 2025 programme, helping to raise awareness of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. #sustainability #film #media #fashion #art
