Course Description Recommended Prior Learning

No recommended prior learning required.

This exciting new course will provide for students who are either new to the textiles area at these levels or students who would like to explore their interest in the creative application of fabric techniques and processes. The course will be a multi-level, Unit Standards course, suitable for year 12 (level 2) or 13 (level 3) students. It is a skills-focused course and will have a predominantly practical focus, enabling students to select from a range of practical projects which utilise a range of practical techniques and processes. The course will begin with skill-building (for those new to textiles) and will offer up to 18 Unit Standard credits throughout the year at either level 2 or 3.
