Design + Make

This exhibition celebrates the work of BA Textile Design second year students, produced during their autumn term.

Design + Make begins with a research stage that starts in Year 1. This research informs the printing, knitting and weaving; the designing and making, that happens in Year 2 before students specialise in one textile pathway.

The themes for this year’s collections were: The space in between, Land and Future Systems. These acted as starting points for students to develop their own ideas for a period of extensive research. The work displayed showcases the various directions their research has lead and the imaginative outcomes produced. Each student is exhibiting work from two textile pathways.

It is exciting to see one body of research developed through multiple techniques and textile processes. The exhibitions showcases over 80 talented designers. We hope you enjoy the work.
