TEXTILES & CLOTHING

The study of textiles, their application, design & creation; is integral to this practical subject, which allows students to investigate & experiment with a variety of techniques to create products that can be worn or used around the home for functional & decorative purposes.

Students engage in hands-on tasks, such as hand sewing & embroidery, machine sewing, garment construction, knitting, crochet, macrame, patchwork & weaving to experience the world of textiles.

Sustainable & ethical textile production is a focal point & each semester students are required to complete at least one research task to broaden their awareness of the impact the textile industry has globally. This becomes a springboard for the decisions students make on some of the products they subsequently create.

No prior experience is necessary & students are supported each step of the way.
