Fashion and Textiles

Course summary

We will start by understanding where fabric comes from, then experimenting with different surface embellishment techniques and fabric manipulation. Students will learn how to read commercial patterns by making a garment. From those basic skill, we will then move onto modelling directly onto the stand and developing their pattern cutting techniques. Throughout the course theory knowledge will be covered and checked regularly to ensure students are confident in their written papers. The NEA (Non-Examination assessment) is introduced to students in the June and students can choose with direction they want to take their projects into.
