Course introduction
Do you love the tactile qualities of fabrics and stitch? Do you enjoy drawing and visualising your ideas through a hands on approach to materials? The Textiles course encourages you to explore the breadth of approaches available within contemporary textiles today, developing your skills in stitched, printed and constructed textile processes. Different interests and strengths are highly valued, giving you the opportunity to design one off textile art pieces (both two and three dimensional), interior products or wearable accessories.
The Textiles course encourages you to explore the breadth of approaches available within contemporary textiles today, developing your skills in stitched, printed and constructed textile processes.
Starting by exploring stitch (both hand and machine) as a drawing medium, you will build a comprehensive textiles vocabulary to help you find your own voice within the subject. Workshops are structured to familiarise yourself with different techniques including: appliqué, soluble fabrics, heat reactive materials, weaving, fabric manipulation, screen printing, collagraph printing, and repeat pattern design. We will also explore how contemporary and historic textile makers communicate ideas.
