Art and Design (Textiles)

Course summary

Textile Design is taught within the Art and Design Department. Our students are encouraged to create innovative pieces, using a wide variety of techniques, including machine and hand embroidery, freeform knitting, advanced felt making and fabric manipulation. Alternative approaches are explored, such as 3D embroidery, hand and machine knitting with wire, slashing, burning and machining into thin air. There are additional opportunities to attend specialist extra-curricular sessions, such as portfolio support sessions and life drawing.
