This course extends the practice of contemporary art textiles by developing conceptual interpretations and the experience of individual textiles practice. The studio emphasises an open ended, innovative and experimental investigation of the language of textiles with historical, cultural and contemporary references. Students produce individual work integrating technical and conceptual approaches in response to studio projects. Textiles 2A provides an environment and context to develop individual approaches with research, experimentation and investigation through lectures, demonstrations and conceptually based projects.
