Textile Arts

Textile Arts 10 & 20

Textile Arts is a course where students can increase their knowledge of the fashion industry and prepare themselves for roles as consumers and for fashion related careers, while building their abilities to design, construct and/or merchandise fashion projects.

What will that look like in class? At the introductory level, we will learn the basics of garment construction, sewing machine operation and troubleshooting as well as infusing creativity and self-expression through our projects.

At the intermediate and advanced levels, we will hone our construction skills and gain more confidence in working with various materials and technical techniques to achieve a design vision. This course has a lot of opportunities for individualization!

Students will be expected to purchase materials for their projects. Each credit will require a different project. Efforts will be made to provide opportunities to order kits of materials to make this process easier.
