This is a 'hands-on' course, taught within the Art department. The emphasis is upon a creative approach to Textiles which encourages an understanding of the role of textiles as a medium used by artists, craftspeople and designers. You will follow a broadly based practical course which allows you to work with many different materials and which leads to an endorsement in Textiles on your A level certificate in Art. Although this course may be taken alongside the endorsement in Fine Art by students wishing to study two Art courses, it is not recommended and would require individual negotiation.
