MUO-E1065

The course consists of practice-led studio work and is to be taken in combination with fashion and textile design courses. On the course, students are introduced to the design of advanced jacquard structures, such as different multi-layered and double-faced structures, using various digital and analogue methods. The teaching consists of lectures, demonstrations, group and individual tutoring, group meetings and final critics session. Design assignment: Students design a collection of woven fabrics, which can include patterned jacquards as well as plains and textures, and realize it in a weaving workshop and on an industrial machine. Technical details of each fabric should be documented in product cards. The course assignment is linked to the concept designed in the Textile Collection Design, Fashion Collection Design and/or Fashion Collection project course and can be combined with the assignment of Advanced Printed Fabrics and Finishes Workshop, Advanced 3D-shaping project and/or Advanced Workshop Project.

Learning outcomes:

• Design woven fabrics including jacquard structures on an advanced level for industrial production and document the results.
• Apply design and process management skills in the context of woven fabrics.
• Identify their own aesthetic approach and find their own creative voice in the context of woven fabrics
• Practice experimental and practice-based approaches in woven fabrics.
