Textiles, BA (Hons)

Textiles provide a comprehensive exploration of materials across diverse contexts and applications. We promote an experimental approach to materials and processes, fostering innovative, contemporary, and thought-provoking design work. This includes textiles for fashion, interiors, products, communication, or alternative uses.Students will examine combinations of imagery, drawing, materials, texture, colour, and pattern in two- and three-dimensional forms. We encourage a broad scope of drawing and research, including embracing new technologies, developing novel methods, studying traditional techniques in print and mixed media, and addressing sustainability. Collaborative, industry-driven projects contextualize your role in the textile sector, tackle market challenges, and prepare you for employment. You will build strong presentation and CAD skills for competent design communication. Our graduates are recognized for their excellent drawing abilities, industry insight, and professional innovation, with Design and Screen Cultures courses integrating theoretical foundations into practical studio work.
