This studio based course requires that students produce a substantial project which demonstrates a refinement of the concepts and contexts central to their work and a developed area of research relevant to their textiles practice. The presented body of work will evidence the refinement of the student's conceptual and technical capabilities. An experimental approach to textiles practice is encouraged and may take the form of interdisciplinary works such as site specific work, 3D forms, object making, works relating to the body or design for exhibition and studio production. Textiles 5B covers an integrated approach to studio practice through lectures, tutorials, studio research methodologies and the presentation of seminars by each student about the content and context of their practice. These are employed to achieve the synthesis of conceptual concerns and studio practice.
