Students will be introduced to a variety of experiences, exploring a range of media, processes and techniques. Students’ work will develop with both practical and critical/ contextual approaches, exploring a combination of the following areas of study: garments/fashion; printed and dyed textiles; constructed textiles; textile installation; expressive textiles; illustrative and digital textiles. What next? Textile Design is particularly valuable in careers in textile, costume and set design, visual merchandising, interior design, stylist roles and many more. In a world where trends, fashion and design are central to an organisation’s image and brand, employers are always keen to employ people with a creative outlook and skills. This A-Level is a well-respected and rigorously assessed course, valued highly by universities (including those in the Russell Group).
