Course Information

Depending on the term you choose to study with us, this Semester Study Abroad Textiles course offers you the opportunity to focus on a variety of specialist areas, including textiles for fashion, textiles for interiors and textiles as art/crafts. Traditional skills are taught together with expertise in design development and production. You will explore and develop your own creative ideas and design concepts through visual problem-solving.

During workshop introductions and through design briefs you will develop surface-print, stitch/embellishment, and construction/manipulation skills. The course allows for experimentation, development and manipulation of fabrics in order to explore technical processes and formulate personal methods of textile creation. The production of a series of samples will encourage the generation of personal and innovative textile responses. You will develop your knowledge and understanding of textile practice through historical, cultural, contemporary and social contexts.

You will be encouraged to develop as an individual textile designer through exploration of usual and unusual materials to produce expected and unexpected outcomes. Through first-hand experience with industry specialists, your professional and technical skills will mature.
