Almost everything that we experience is affected by design: our environment, our homes, the products we use and wear. Good design is at the centre of our lives. Product design gives young people the opportunity to combine practical and technological skills with creative thinking to design and make real and useful products. And it’s the only part of the school curriculum that provides this opportunity. The study of textiles is exciting and challenging. Students work with a range of different materials and produce original, experimental work, whether sublimation printing or fabric manipulation. They are encouraged to look at textiles and fashions from different periods and cultures and interpret those designs using a repertoire of different techniques and processes. A level Textiles offers the opportunity for talented students who can offer a combination of artistic, inventive and creative flair, the opportunity to express their ideas, technical knowledge and organisational skills. It is a multi-faceted course which especially needs interest, enthusiasm and determination. This is arguably one of the most interesting times to study textiles.
