What the college says

This course introduces you to a variety of experiences that explore a range of textiles processes and techniques, both old and new. Throughout the first year, you will experience a number of workshops that aim to develop your skills and give you a sound core knowledge of textiles processes that will be used in your course work. You will learn printing techniques, pattern and surface decoration that will enable you to design and produce your own fabrics leading on to pattern drafting and the construction of garments. During the second year, you will be able to choose the direction you want to take your work in, both contextually and through the choice of media. You will cover a wide range of modern and traditional techniques and skills with a focus on fashion and interiors. Please contact Backwell School to discuss this course information in more detail.
