Behind the Headlines / Carla Diogo

Sustainable fashion, forest schools and ‘Brizzle’

By Betty Woolerton  Friday Nov 3, 2023

In this week’s podcast episode, we sit down with Carla Diogo, a sustainable designer and maker as well as the co-owner of Two Six Four on Church Road in St George.

Carla talks to Ellie Pipe about sustainability, repair and mend and inspiration; while Betty Woolerton learns about forest schools in a rainy Leigh Court.

Also, is the word ‘Brizzle’ becoming more acceptable to use or is it still a heinous crime against all true Bristolians? Lucy Wheeler of Beast in St Nick’s Market speaks to Martin Booth about the controversial topic.
