Short course
Textile Design for 16 to 18 Year Olds Short Course
Course description
Course overview
This inspiring hands-on course provides an insight into a variety of textile print techniques, including transfer printing, screen printing, hand painting, metal foiling and flocking.
The course is project-based and designed to support the development of ideas and experimentation. Students will explore pattern, form, colour, design and repeats, working on both fabric and paper. There will be an opportunity to visit some of London’s shops, markets, museums, galleries and parks as areas of resource.
A range of different techniques and media will be demonstrated at the start of each day so that students can explore different processes. The outcome should be a portfolio filled with ideas, samples and potential collections.
Who this course is for
This course is suitable for students aged 16 to 18 with an interest in textile design.
It would be an excellent fit for students who might have studied art and design and want to go on to a foundation course or simply develop new skills.
