This course engages students in the process of planning, designing and developing textile design products for a market or customer. The course will be presented as an extended studio project working towards the development of a prototype/sampling, support materials and finished product/s. This will be supported by activities such as short lectures/talks by designer/makers, visits to craft and design organisations, exhibitions, retail outlets and other relevant resources. Students will research and develop knowledge of textiles design practice in Australia, as well as experience in working on design projects with public outcomes. Students will also learn safe working practices and develop an understanding of relevant Workplace Health & Saftey procedures to fulfill course requirements.
