Art and Design (Textiles)

Course summary

Textiles is an exciting and varied course where you are encouraged to explore your creativity through a wide range of practical textile processes and techniques. If you love stitching, folding, cutting, slicing, shredding, knotting, burning, gluing, folding, and pleating then Textiles is the course for you. You will be continually encouraged to draw visual inspiration from everything and anything within the natural and artificial world. Lively and experimental drawing/fashion illustration sessions will be delivered throughout the year to help you gain a greater understanding of surface, structure and form. What will I study? At the start of the course you will embark on a series of workshops where you are encouraged to be adventurous and innovative whilst working with materials and processes, which include printmaking, stitch and metalwork. What you learn at the start of the year will provide a solid foundation for your self-written personal investigation, in which you will explore themes and subject matter chosen by you.
