C&G 10 week course in Textile decoration

Description

TEXTILE DECORATION (7161 L2 203) Course will run weekly in term time, on Mondays 10.00AM - 3.00PM Starting January 12th 2026 This course takes you through the design process from research, to sample, to a finished one metre length of presentable decorated textile. We will discover so many varied and exciting ranges of fabric with different surface texture and weights, including natural, synthetic and man-made fabrics. Working in our sketchbooks to record and experiment with ideas, we will refine processes to develop and produce a minimum of ten individual samples using colour, line, texture shape and form in a variety of textile techniques. We will produce these samples using a range of colouring mediums including dyes, coloured wax, metallic, sprays, 3D mediums, paints and resists. We will also use a range of embellishments, beads, sequins, appliqué, stitch, slash, and other fabric manipulation. The production of these samples will also explore added pattrern, stencils, block prints, masks, stamps, batik and heat transfer techniques. Putting together your chosen preferred techniques that you have researched and practiced during this course, you will produce a one metre by the manufactured width of the fabric as one major sample. You can enter this sample into our end of year exhibition, if you choose to exhibit it. There is an option for formal assessment to gain credits than can go towards a Level 2 Certificate in Textiles. There is an additional fee of £100 for admin and assessment payable at the end of the course and before submission. Refreshments provided, please bring your own lunch.
