Textiles Technology

Subject description:

A study of Textiles Technology provides students with broad knowledge of the properties, performance and uses of textiles in which fabrics, yarns and fibres are explored, and how these are used in conjunction with colouration and decoration techniques.

Project Work that includes investigation and experimentation enables students to discriminate in their choices of textiles for particular uses. Students document and communicate their design ideas and experiences applying contemporary technologies in their project work.

Completion of projects is integral to developing skills and confidence in the manipulation

Areas of Study:

Students investigate the work of textile designers and from this research make judgements about the appropriateness of design ideas, the selection of materials and of tools and the quality of textile items. Students are challenged to transfer knowledge to new situations and projects, building on technical skills and past experiences. Textile projects give students the opportunity to be creative, independent learners and to explore functional and aesthetic aspects of textiles, demonstrate responsibility in decision-making and encourage individuals to express ideas and opinions.
