Year 9 Mixed Materials in the Creative Lab - Two Terms

This course will be taught in our creative lab (not a traditional hard materials workshop). 

The course focuses on students learning to work with soft and various mixed materials to make textile projects.

As part of the design process, students will learn computer software like Adobe Illustrator and Tech Soft to design a print for fabric, which can then be dye sublimation printed. They will design shapes or patterns to be cut out on our laser cutter and 3D print accessories, like a custom-designed button or accessory for a textile project.

Students will learn how to design and then produce a pattern for a textile project. They will also learn the skills of hand stitching, applique, and using a sewing machine in combination with computer software.
