This course will help you make the transition from self-motivated student to independent designer. With the help of your tutor and the course guidelines, you will plan your own study programme and by the end of the course you will have demonstrated your ability to conceive and develop innovative design ideas and take them to a successful conclusion. The projects you choose to do can develop any aspect of your previous work but they can also explore completely new ideas. You should normally have completed Textiles 2 but direct entry onto the course is possible for more experienced designers. All students on this course choose their own tutor from the OCA portfolio of advanced textile design tutors.

The course aims to improve the quality of design work; develop further the use of a personal visual language; help students generate and complete a major programme of practical work and demonstrate independence as a designer.
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 (call OCA on 0800 731 2116 to find your nearest tutor) 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.
Students complete five major design projects, write project commentaries and produce an extended written assignment. They also maintain a learning log.
