Course programme
Week 1 will concentrate on building design and research skills and understanding the role of a textile designer through gallery and museum visits, a group ‘repeat print project’ and a talk by a visiting lecturer. You will develop your research over a 2-day group project to design and screen-print a repeat pattern in the workshop.
Week 2 will focus on your individual design development and is largely studio based. We will introduce you to a variety of techniques such as hand painting, screen printing, dyeing and finishing techniques like foiling and flocking to experiment with in the workshop to create textiles that are suitable for Fashion or Interiors.
Week 3 will explore further techniques like printing using heat press and fabric manipulation to create 3D forms. This week is largely self-directed, and you will have individual tutorials with the tutors to develop your final concepts. You will be encouraged to develop and make a final piece based on all the techniques you have learnt for your exhibition.
