The course is focused around interdisciplinary and experimental projects, with an innovative approach in the area of textiles and materials.
Throughout the programme, participants gain access to design and making methodologies within the frame of traditional and digital Textile design.
Embedded in the course is a consistent practice with workshop experience, along with the professional expertise brough on by academic staff, researchers and visiting designers, coming from both local and international craftsmanship excellence.
