Course Overview

In our open studio environment, you’ll have plenty of space to develop the visual, creative and practical skills you need­ to work in contemporary textiles. Your printed designs could be realized as anything from a catwalk collection, a fabric design and accessories, to fashion-led interiors and textile art.

In this course, you’ll get the chance to work on live industry projects and exhibit your work at shows including Graduate Fashion Week and the New Designers Exhibition, and make the most of the department’s industry links with fashion brands such as Alexander McQueen, Peter Pilotto, Material Lab and Westcott Studios.
