Introduction

The programme is housed in a lively, light and airy studio that accommodates all years of the course making it the heartbeat of our Surface Pattern and Textiles community. You have a personal desk space for the duration of your studies. Either side of the studio are our well-equipped workshops where you can explore a broad range of materials and processes, enabling participation in relevant methods of design practice. 

Our specialist workshops Include:

  • Space to make with dedicated benches and access to cutting, joining and forming facilities.
