NCEA Level 3 Textiles Technology
13TTT Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr N. Sandes
Students will develop pattern cutting skills along with working for a client to construct a garment or textile article that meets their specific needs. They will then develop their own individual project. Students will work with a client and work through the design process, which involves research and evaluation of their designs and resources to create decorative features using applied design techniques such as screen printing, embroidery, beading to create a visually appealing final outcome. Students have the chance to select standards that they wish to work towards and that best suit their project and may have the chance to complete scholarship with their portfolio. A minimum of 16 credits will be taught and extra credits options will be available to all students.
Scholarship Entry is also available in consultation with the teacher.
*No prior experience required
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
Course costs: $40 for materials such as toile fabric, interfacings and applied design media which are provided by the school. Students must also provide their own fabric for their chosen garments. This is usually $40-$50 per garment. Because there is a choice of design and fabric, this cost can be reduced. Recycling is also encouraged.
