Textile design involves creating, selecting and manipulating across a variety of practices. Both traditional and contemporary technologies will be used to address aspects of design in fashion, furnishing and fine art. Contemporary practice is usually a combination of different textiles disciplines which include constructed textiles, dyed textiles, printed textiles, fine art textiles and fashion textiles. Students will be required to work in one or more of these disciplines. Initially the work will be largely observational. Students will also look at artefacts produced by different artists & designers. These will be from a range of cultures; as well as their own. Students will use research material, including their observational studies and art and design history analysis, to develop ideas and explore different techniques and materials. From these explorations they will produce final outcomes.
