Sharing skills for a truly sustainable homelife.
Common Knowledge is a non-profit social enterprise based deep in the Burren, on Ireland’s beautiful West Coast. We share skills in building, making, mending and growing, because we believe that between us all, we have the knowledge needed to create a truly sustainable future.
