BA Textiles offers a rich exploration of materials in their broadest sense for a wide range of contexts and outcomes.
We encourage you to take an experimental approach towards materials and processes to produce innovative, contemporary and questioning design work.
We advocate for you to find your own personal and individual approach to textiles. We will help you to identify alternative options and propositions for design and making, with considered approaches and sustainability at their heart.
This may include textiles:
- for fashions, interiors or products
- as communication or for alternative contexts
What you will cover
You will explore combinations and compositions of:
- imagery
- drawing
- materials
- texture
- colour
- pattern
You will look at textiles in two and three dimensions. We support a wide-ranging approach to drawing and personal research and encourage you to:
- embrace new technology
- develop new ways of working
- find your individual approach to textiles
- study traditional and foundational textile techniques in print and mixed media
- consider sustainability and develop your material awareness
- create vibrant and unexpected responses to textile challenges, propositions and design problems
Your technical proficiency will be focused on textile print processes with a further layer of:
- mixed media
- embroidery
- construction
- innovative biomaterial and regenerative material exploration
Programme benefits
- Our community and industry-driven projects will give you insight into current markets and challenges and prepare you for future employment.
- Explore technique and material propositions informed by visual and research skills that embed sustainable, considered and ethical approaches throughout your studies.
- Develop strong presentation and computer-aided design (CAD) skills. This will ensure your designs are presented competently and with clear intentions.
- The stunning city of Edinburgh is at the heart of annual international cultural and arts events. You will be inspired both within the studios and workshops of the Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) and by the city itself.
- Benefit from talks and workshops with professional practitioners and take part in exhibitions, competitions and live projects that help you prepare for professional practice.
- Our graduates qualify ready for practice, with the confidence to establish themselves as independent and adaptable designers with a range of transferable skills.
