Foundation in Textile Decoration

Description

TEXTILE DECORATION FOUNDATION WORKSHOPS The course will run weekly in term time, on Mondays 10.00AM - 3.00PM Starting 7th July 2025 This course is designed to give you a solid foundation in textile design and decoration. We will explore and experiment with varied and exciting ranges of fabric with different surface texture and weights, yarns threads and embellishments. Working in our sketchbooks to record and experiment with ideas, we will refine processes to develop and produce individual samples using colour, line, texture shape and form using a variety of textile techniques. We will also use a range of embellishments, beads, sequins, appliqué, stitch, slash, and other fabric manipulation, and we will explore added pattern, such as stencils, block prints and stamps. This course will equip you to go on to further study, such as the Level 2 City & Guilds Textile Decoration, Hand embroidery and Textiles for Interiors units and Certificate.
