Experimental Textiles

Development of personal and creative practice - with Kim Thittichai

Course outline 

This course aims to encourage personal enquiry both about the marks and structures, which appear out of the materials used and about the sources and terms of personal expression. The emphasis will be on intuitive, innovative and analytical work with materials and formative principals and will seek to encourage individual solutions for each student.

The student will produce a collection of paper designs and textiles samples. Initial ideas must be developed through research and where ever possible should be taken from primary sources. Records of research must be documented both visually and with written support.

Students will be encouraged to analyse and evaluate their own work to determine specific courses for action, culminating with a selection of directed and self directed projects. 

Learning activities will be mainly experiential in nature, based around a series of exercises and short directed and self directed projects. They will also include short lectures, demonstrations, discussion and evaluation groups and individual tutorials.

The course and its process of delivery are designed to enable students to expand their skills base and through the development of their observational and critical ability. This encouragement to observe and reflect on the learning process is a major step in the individuals ability to form ideas about the world of their own making based on their own research, and should help them gain freedom from dependency on others about how and what they should think. The encouragement to discuss theirs and others work with a safe group environment is intended to give students the chance to discover what they can learn from people with different ideas and viewpoints. This process of critical enquiry should also help the student become aware of the richness of cultural diversity and the benefits therein to their own development.
