In Art Textiles you will explore colour, texture and imagery using both traditional and unconventional materials. Our well-equipped specialist studio will allow you to explore and experiment with a wide range of techniques and materials. You will develop themes from your own personal experiences and observations, investigate ideas and research the work of other artists and designers. You will be taught by experienced and supportive tutors who have many years of experience in both teaching and creating.
From common starting points, you will progress in an individual direction. In the second half of Year Two, an externally set assignment gives you the opportunity to demonstrate all your creative abilities. Examples of project titles include 'Lost & Found' 'Transitions' and 'The Elements'.
