It was really exciting to hear Ed Mazria would be holding a design class.  Known to American architects for his 2030 Challenge to clean up the environment through sustainable practices, I discovered he was going to join a select members of the DLR Group, an architect design firm, in Washington to help them design six fictional middle schools.

Introducing : Our Ethical Database's Latest Addition ... interiors made from old wine barrels!

As you know, the Ethical Database we've been developing will feature all sorts of resources and information you need to create ethical interiors and fashion. We're very pleased to preview our latest addition ... a manufacturer who has just introduced a range of flooring, countertops and furniture made from old wine barrels.

As the end-products have a higher-value with a longer, more useful life than the original, the development could be regarded as upcycling. Oak is desirable for both flooring as a beautiful and durable material, and wine producers, or vintners, due to the benefits it imparts to the wine. However, vintners don’t like to reuse the oak barrels, and therefore, after they are used once, they are often discarded.

Introducing Hannah ... Ethical mixed media and textile artist

We first met Hannah when she was exhibiting a selection of gorgeous, hand-made pieces from a project of work entitled, "Every coast has a story to tell". Her work emanated a sense of nature, and in line with the central theme, all the elements she brought together were reclaimed or derived from natural sources.

We're delighted to say that Hannah features on our Ethical Database as a mixed media and textile artist, and even more delighted that she took the time to chat to us about her fabulous work, "Every Coast Has A Story To Tell".
