Week 1 will concentrate on building design and research skills and understanding the role of a textile designer. We will achieve this through gallery and museum visits, a group ‘repeat print project’ and a talk by a visiting lecturer. You will develop your research over a 2 day group project. You are going to design and screen-print a repeat pattern in the workshop.
Week 2 will focus on your individual design development and is largely studio based. We will introduce you to a variety of techniques. These include hand painting, screen printing, dyeing and finishing techniques like foiling and flocking. to experiment with in the workshop, to create textiles that are suitable for fashion or interiors.
Week 3 will explore further techniques like printing using heat press and fabric manipulation to create 3D forms. This week very self-directed. You will have individual tutorials with the tutors to develop your final concepts. We will encourage you to develop and make a final piece based on all the techniques you have learnt for your exhibition.
