NEW DESIGNERS 2020 - THE ARTS UNIVERSITY BOURNEMOUTH: BA (Hons) Textiles Design

It is a great honour to introduce the 2020 graduating cohort from the BA (Hons) Textiles course at the Arts University Bournemouth. Our vision was to inspire and encourage the individual creative textile designer maker through the reflection and refinement of their practice, enabling them to position themselves at the forefront of creative design. I believe they have achieved this! Our emphasis as a course has been placed upon strong craft and making skills coupled with innovation and technology. We have promoted a broad range of textiles skills – dye, print, stitch, and manipulation whilst asking the students to focus upon the context and market in which their personalised developments fall. Our focus therefore has been creativity in context, encouraging enterprise, initiative and enquiry in readiness for a career within the breadth of creative textiles.
