This course extends the work done in Textiles 1: A Creative Approach, and helps you develop your own ideas and designs to a higher level. You will gain a greater understanding of your preferred textile techniques, become more self-reliant as a designer and develop a more personal approach to design through a mixture of structured and self-generated projects. Several new areas are covered, particularly dyes and dyeing, and these allow you to experiment with colour. You will also be investigating textiles from other cultures and twentieth century textile movements.
The course aims to develop greater understanding of techniques and a more individual approach to visual ideas and design; explore in greater depth the historical and ethnographic context of textiles.
You are allocated a tutor and receive their details in your course pack. You work from the course materials and send regular assignments to your tutor. These are returned to you with comment and advice. The course fee includes tutor feedback on your set assignments, but you can purchase feedback and comment on additional pieces of work if you wish.
You choose a tutor within travelling distance and you meet them at mutually agreeable times and dates. You are entitled to an agreed number of hours tuition, typically five hours. Tutors work from their own studios or other suitable teaching space. You can find out where your nearest tutor is by contacting Academic Services on 0800 731 2116.
