Textiles

This is a demanding and enjoyable course, where you will develop your particular interest to produce a portfolio of work. You can focus on a specialism of your choice. You will  develop your skills in observing and recording; undertaking research; and gathering, selecting and organising visual information. You will study the work of others to enhance your skills and develop ideas. As you build your portfolio, you’ll encounter a range of textile techniques.

The focus with these specifications is on encouraging students to develop skills, creativity, imagination and independence based on personal experience, taught skills and critical understanding. Students then show this through their responses to a range of stimuli. They provide an opportunity for your students to take a personal interest in why art and design matter and to be inspired and changed by studying a coherent, worthwhile course of study. They can also gain experience of the working practices of individuals, organisations and creative and cultural industries. These specifications provide freedom for your students to experiment and take risks with their work while developing their own style.
