NCEA Level 2 Textiles Technology
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr N. Sandes
Textiles Technology will enable students to access state-of-the-art equipment including innovative design software, laser cutter, computer-guided embroidery, high-precision Cricut cutting machine, photo-sensitive multi-layered screen printing, and industrial quality sewing machines.
The main focus of study at this level is to explore fabrics and textiles in the fashion industry. Students will focus on designing and constructing a 'Streetwear' garment that includes special features such as a lining or an applied design such as screen printing or machine embroidery. During the course, students will be required to carry out the design process in order to make decisions about garments that they or their clients would like to construct and wear. The basics of fashion drawing, research and evaluation will be an integral part of their work.
Up to 20 credits are available from a selection of Achievement Standards which strongly support the achievement of NCEA subject endorsement at Merit or Excellence.
