Course description

On this course you will explore and develop a variety of textile methods to gain an insight into how and where textiles are used in creative practices, from fine art, fashion and jewellery to communication, architecture and theatre design. You will experience a very different approach to making work and will be encouraged to take risks and experiment with your ideas, discovering new ways of working, which will help with your GCSE and A levels.
