Studying textile design is ideal if you love using colour, patterns, drawing and textures to create things. During a textile design course, you’ll discover how to put your designs into action by applying them to interiors, clothing, ceramics, accessories, public spaces, and more, as you explore some of the key themes in textile design like manufacturing and sustainability. You’ll gain design-specific skills as you learn how to master materials, likely using both traditional and modern techniques. Through your course you may have access to specialist facilities like screen printing equipment, dye labs, production facilities, fabric stores and CAD technology. You may also get the chance to work on live client briefs and do internships or placements, giving you practical experience. Graduates will be able to look for jobs in the fashion and textiles industries in roles like fashion designer, textile designer, patternmaker and stylist.
