Course Content

As not all Fashion & Textiles students were able to study the subject at GCSE, this course provides an introduction to core skills. You’ll also explore stitch, print, pattern, garment construction, 3D construction, needle felting, and fashion illustration. As well as exploring personal thematic fashion and textiles projects in a supportive studio environment, you’ll also be able to showcase your work at fashion shows and visit exhibitions. The course regularly brings in guest speakers, including Our Big Picture, Stylist Emily Jones, and film director Jack Spring, to name a few. Prior study of an art-based course at GCSE is required, or you can provide a portfolio of creative work.
