Digital Textiles workshop
Experiment with textile processes, colour, pattern and styling.
The Digital Textiles workshop is used extensively by Fashion and Textiles students, but it can also be used for Fine Art and Research outputs.
We've got facilities for direct-to-fabric digital textile printing, dye sublimation printing, and laser cutting. You’ll be able to explore and experiment with ideas, theory and inspiration, visual research, textile processes, colour, fabric and yarn, pattern, styling and presentation.
Expand your skillset by taking advantage of our drop-in 'Photoshop Café' sessions, as well as taught workshop sessions that cover all aspects of Textile Design.
