A-LEVEL TEXTILE DESIGN
A level Textile Design encourages students to work with a wide variety of skills and processes across the fields of Textiles, Fashion and Interiors. This includes printed textiles, constructed textiles, embroidery, fashion construction, weaving and fabric manipulation. Students are introduced to different techniques which they are then able to develop into personal outcomes. This can be clearly seen within the variety of imaginative outcomes produced by the students this year.
Learners are encouraged to explore both historical and contemporary techniques and to support their work with research into a range of suitable artists, designers, and trends. They are prepared for industry or Higher Education and some of the students from this year are continuing their education by pursuing degrees in Fashion and Textiles after their A levels.
I hope that you find the work inspiring. I am very proud of what the learners have achieved this year.
