Course Description

The course provides excellent learning opportunities in embroidery, stitch, print, knit, weave, pattern cutting, digital technologies and CAD. We offer the opportunity to experience traditional skills, cutting edge digital technology and art and design practice. After a broad based first year learning fundamental workshop, visual literacy and contextual study skills, a second year explores two and three dimensional thinking and processes in depth. Students will be supported and guided to develop their practice in one of three pathways, Artist, Designer or Maker.

These three routes represent the main pathways into employment and self employment in the creative industries sector.

You will explore the space between tradition and innovation in textiles, fashion and art practice and will achieve this through rigorous process and conceptual engagement. The course is aimed to be in tune with the creative economy. You will be encouraged to take creative risks and pursue professional opportunities throughout the course.
