What the college says

There is a hands-on practical start to AS covering a broad range of processes to suit complete beginners as well as more experienced students. This typically includes digital textiles, natural dyeing, surface manipulation and print. As the course progresses it gradually becomes more independent with a focus on small group teaching through workshops and 1:1 support; this allows you to develop your own interests and produce personal work in a range of textile outcomes such as fashion garments, interior furnishings and lighting, wall hangings, jewellery and accessories as well as lengths of printed cloth. Students are offered support through individual feedback and tutorials.

Students without this grade will need to show evidence of artistic and creative ability by submitting a portfolio of work and be interviewed on or before Enrolment Day by a member of the Art & Design team. The portfolio could include photography, drawing, fashion ideas, mood boards or any textiles you have made at home.
