What the college says

Students have the opportunity to develop and express their creativity and ideas through a range of artistic areas within textile design or three-dimensional design. They also have the chance to nurture transferrable skills, which are valued in a range of sectors. As well as specific skills related to competence in art and design, the study of this subject is widely credited with nurturing problem-solving skills, visual analysis, the ability to find creative solutions and make critical judgements, and the capacity to work outside your comfort zone. A Level Textiles offers opportunities to use your creativity to express yourself and record the world in which you live. You will develop your understanding of creative processes, your ability to observe and think, to solve problems and communicate in a visual, verbal, and written way. It will enable you to work independently and to make your own discoveries by exploring ideas, other artists work and different materials and techniques.
