Textiles develop a range of creative, technical and practical skills which students might need to perform in many everyday tasks.

Students are taught the technical skills needed to engage correctly and safely using the equipment needed for the various projects. Students learn about the different fabrics available and will be introduced to the process of design and making and evaluating household items that could be made from new and recycled fabrics, yarns and fibres.
