Art and Design (Textiles)

Course summary

In the first year, students experiment with a range of equipment and processes. They create a technical notebook as well as visual and tactile outcomes. Formal skills include drawing, printmaking, stitching, fabric manipulation and construction. Through primary and secondary research students are encouraged to develop a greater understanding of creative practice and the work of others. During the course, we visit studios, galleries and trade shows such as New Designers and The Graduate Fashion Show in London. In the second year, students go on to develop their projects which could be fashion-based, product-based or have a fine art approach.
