Art and Design (Textiles)

Course summary

Step into the vibrant world of Textile Design and embark on a journey of artistic expression. Textile Design encompasses an extraordinary range of materials, techniques, and processes, constantly evolving with interdisciplinary approaches. From weaving, embroidery, knitting, printing, and painting to dyeing, manipulation, embellishment, and construction, the possibilities are endless. These techniques give birth to an array of textile outcomes, including costume and fashion design, accessories, and body adornment. As new materials and technologies emerge, the boundaries of Textile Design continue to expand. As the creative arts continue to drive British economic growth, studying textiles at QMC will provide you with the skills necessary for higher-level study or employment. With access to a wealth of industry-standard equipment and resources, and benefiting from strong relationships with universities, artists, and designers, we nurture your potential. Textile Design not only develops your design and making skills, but it also opens doors to diverse creative pathways, including entry into any creative or Art & Design-based degree course. Our previous students have successfully pursued careers as theatre and costume designers, photographers, fashion designers, footwear designers, interior designers, fashion assistants, and teachers.
