You will work on projects that include:
- Knitted fabric design
- Fashion knit trend research
- Yarn and material awareness
- Knitted garment construction techniques
- Digital knit workshops
plus see the future of smart knitted textile technology.
The projects will enhance your knowledge of garment specification and terminology, enabling you to understand the potential in taking a piece from concept to manufacture. By the end of the course you will have the expertise to produce samples and swatches that you can develop in the future.
Supporting your studio work will be tours around the city and the region to better understand our textile history. You will see the unique Lace Archive, visit textile museums, take inspiration from galleries and visit manufacturers to help put your work in a historical and global context. There will be a visit to London on one Saturday, with a trip to the Victoria and Albert Museum and other key museums used by textiles and fashion students for generating ideas.
This exciting course is aimed at:
- anyone who has completed at least one year of an undergraduate course in textile design, fashion or knitwear;
- professionals from the textile knit industry looking for new inspiration for their next collection; and
- teachers and technicians looking for ways to engage in knit design and technology.
By the end of the course you will have created a new network of knit practitioners along with some innovative, contemporary work for your portfolio, and have new technical knowledge in knitted garment construction.
The fee covers the tuition, course materials and excursions. It does not include accommodation, though we are very happy to help you find something suitable.
