Textiles

Textiles offer a rich exploration of materials in their broadest sense for a wide range of contexts and outcomes.

We encourage you to take a very experimental approach towards materials and processes to produce innovative, contemporary and questioning design work.

This may include textiles:

* for fashions, interiors or products

* as communication or for alternative contexts

You will look at textiles in two and three dimensions. We support a wide-ranging approach to drawing and personal research and encourage you to:
