ADVANCED LEVEL COURSES
TEXTILES
A LEVEL
In Textiles you will explore colour, texture and
imagery using both traditional and unconventional
materials. Our well-equipped specialist studio
will allow you to explore and experiment with
a wide range of techniques and materials. You
will develop themes from your own personal
experiences and observations, investigate
ideas and research the work of other artists and
designers. You will be taught by experienced
and supportive tutors who have many years of
experience in both teaching and creating.
From common starting points, you will progress
in an individual direction. In the second half of
Year Two, an externally set assignment gives you
the opportunity to demonstrate all your creative
abilities. Examples of project titles include ‘Lost &
Found’ ‘Transitions’ and ‘The Elements’
