Introduction

Textiles is an exciting and creative subject that encourages students to seek innovative solutions by using materials and techniques intelligently, imaginatively and experimentally.

Textile Design focuses on the creation of original designs and products for woven, knitted, stitched and printed fabrics, giving students the opportunity to explore how ideas can be transformed into real outcomes.

Throughout the course, students develop a strong understanding of fibres, yarns and fabrics, while building practical skills and confidence in design, making and problem-solving
