Textiles 1: A Creative Approach

Core Requirement for BA Hons Textiles
Elective Option for BA Hons Painting, BA Hons Creative Arts

This is a highly practical course which focuses on design and self-expression through the medium of textiles and gives an initial introduction to textile techniques. You will learn how to translate drawings into stitching, practice basic design skills, paint and print on fabric, and create two- and three-dimensional shapes and forms. You will work on a design project and translate your ideas into a finished piece. You do not need any technical equipment to do the course and you will be given advice on how to get hold of basic materials. The course is for people who already have expertise in a craft technique such as sewing, embroidery and knitting but lack the skills and knowledge to create their own designs.
