On the Textile Design course, you will explore, develop, and acquire a wide range of techniques and processes in a range of textile media. You will study colour, pattern, form and texture through experimentation of materials, gaining knowledge and understanding of traditional and digital textile processes. The emphasis is on individual projects that promote personal interpretation of a specialist area, which shows a depth of study. This course offers a broad opportunity to explore areas of fashion design and illustration, garment construction, printed surface design for interiors, constructed textiles and fine art textiles.
At least 6 GCSEs at grades 9 to 4 , including GCSE English Language, and meeting the entry criteria of individual subjects (Level 2 vocational qualifications at Merit or Distinction will be treated as equivalent to one GCSE) Grade 4 in GCSE Art and/or textiles if studied is normally required. However, if this GCSE has not been taken then a selection of artwork and sketchbooks, which demonstrates acceptable levels of skill, will be requested for consideration.
All of your creative, practical and analytical work will be assessed by your tutors and moderated externally. At the end of the second year, the externally set practical assignment will demonstrate all that you have learnt and achieved. The personal investigation is assessed at 60% and the externally set assignment at 40%.
