Art and Design (Textiles)

Course summary

Textile designers are expected to work in a multi-disciplinary way to create ideas, concepts, materials and techniques for different applications; for example, in fashion and clothing, theatre or film production, as well as fabrics for interior applications and packaging. Textile design can also be interpreted as a personal and individual fine art discipline. We follow the Edexcel A Level specification which requires students to generate and develop ideas, research and record practical and written observations, experiment with media and processes, and refine ideas in one of the following areas:  Textiles for Interiors  Fine Art Textiles  Fashion Textiles
