Syllabus

This project-based module encourages students to extend their personal practice through the use of innovative materials, techniques and processes relevant to their choice of specialism. Students will undertake visual research and market analysis, and employ this in the development of a range of textiles for a specific end use.

The module is delivered through a programme of lectures, practical classes and seminars.

Assessment is in two parts:
- students will submit an initial research and development portfolio, together with a marketing report mid-semester and
- a development and design conclusion portfolio at the end of the semester
