A Brief Introduction to Permaculture Design
Saturday 15 February 2025
10:00-16:00
Hebden Bridge Town Hall, Terrance Room
Permaculture Design is a response to this feeling and to this moment in time. It is a regenerative focused practice that aims to help us create ways of living and being that are in harmonious connection with our shared planet – the complex living system that we all rely upon for life. It is a practice centred around restorative care of people and planet which asks how we may be able to live in ways which start to create a liveable future that will last for generations.
This one-day course will provide a brief introduction to Permaculture Design context, theory and practice. It has been designed specifically with artists and creatives in mind and explores how these ideas can be used to deepen creative practice and to bring a new ethical basis to projects, particularly in relation to ecology, natural systems and regenerative cultures.
This course has been convened by Everybody Arts for Calderdale Creates, funded by WYCreates. It will be facilitated by Liz Postlethwaite who is a certified permaculture educator and diploma tutor, as well as having her own practice as a community artists and creative facilitator based in Bury in Greater Manchester.
She completed a Permaculture Design Course with Angus Soutar in Lancaster in 2011. Following this she undertook a diploma in applied permaculture design which explored notions of accessibility around permaculture, and also to explore how permaculture design could be used to deepen my her own creative practice. She is passionate about the power of permaculture design as a tool to empower communities and individuals to instigate positive change.
She is now one of the leading practitioners exploring ideas around permaculture design, imagination and art. In her day to day life she creates zines focused upon ideas around permaculture and imagination, she convenes a group exploring permaculture in the arts, and is involved in a community project using permaculture to manage and maintain a 120 acres of woodland and meadow by the River Irwell. She is particularly interested in developing projects which broaden access to permaculture and which make use of it in more unusual and unexpected contexts.”
