Current thinking on approaches to sustainability in education suggest students are often aware of their responsibility to engage with sustainable practices but don’t know how. This implies the need for a more critical review of conventional processes and possible alternatives for future students. The session refers to a pilot project designed to examine student engagement with sustainable practices with particular reference to pattern cutting, informed through dialogue with other fashion educators in the UK and abroad to build shared model of good teaching practice for raising sustainable issues with students whilst encouraging them to work creatively in a way that makes pattern cutting integral to the design process. Following the pilot analysis has shown how working within the restraints of Zero Waste techniques can enhance student creativity; reduce fear and anxiety when working with the unknown and impact on the way they approach their future practice. Participants will have an opportunity to experience Zero Waste practices through a workshop style demonstration.
