This course introduces the language, traditions, materials, processes and practices that constitute textile design. Design projects are undertaken which require students to integrate knowledge, conceptual ideas, references and technical skills with materials, surface, form and contextual issues. Aspects of the design process, research, critical analysis, problem solving and design development are undertaken to facilitate the resolution and fabrication of textile designs. Through projects, the course develops an understanding of a variety of surface design processes and textile construction techniques to translate design concepts, drawings and models into textiles for the body and interior contexts.
