Course Synopsis

• Exploration of Experimental surfaces • Experimental material • Experimental fabrics • Fabric rendering techniques 2D and 3D • Fabric Manipulation Techniques • Fabric Construction Techniques • Fabric Rendering and Printing Techniques • The sampling of designs from paper developments onto fabric for thesis. • Medium and techniques: paint, printing, weave, felting, knitting, crochet etc • Offers students a sound understanding of weave structures and how they can be used to generate engaged woven surfaces that can stand as independent works of art. • Techniques include: Fabric Paint, Silk paint, Batik, Tie and Dye, Embroidery, Ikat, Kalamkaari, Crochet, Quilting, Fabric Manipulation, Felting, hooking/ latch work, knitting, block printing, hand screen printing and digital printing etc.

Course Learning Outcomes

• Emphasis is placed on the compatibility of fabrics to meet performance criteria and market acceptance. • Students will get a thorough know how of different fabric, their characteristics and usage. • The experimentation by fusing different fabric together resulting in different surfaces will create 2D and 3D textile based compositions • The student will be prepared for many fields of Textile Designing through experimentation with different fabric surfaces and techniques. These may include fashion designing, product designing and textile art sculpture making etc.
