Introduction

Textile Design at Duncan of Jordanstone College is a multidisciplinary course that fully integrates theory and practice through the medium of textiles. The course is open and flexible and enables students to cross boundaries from one discipline to another. The programme focuses on live issues that are for, through or about textiles, and our teaching programme encourages students independence through learning.

Throughout the course there is a strong emphasis on visual research and drawing for design concept and development. We will engage you in a structured programme of projects that will encourage you to become self-motivated and generate your own personal creative language.

At the end of the course you will be able to:

  • think assertively for yourself
  • understand what you have learned on your course
  • express design ideas in a professional way
  • demonstrate a confident and appropriate use of a range of textile processes and materials
  • understand how textile design can be applied in a contemporary context
