Course Description
In this course you will explore a range of experimental processes to design and produce original textiles in response to a design brief. Through this exploratory approach, you will apply a variety of manipulation techniques to create different effects on fibres, fabrics and other materials that can be used to develop new textile concepts.
Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
None.
