About Textile Design, BA (Hons) - at Leeds Arts University

Our Textile Design degree is a leading specialist course in print and surface design, renowned for producing commercially engaged creative designers. Amplify your passion for drawing, colour, and materials to become a dynamic designer in this exciting and diverse industry.

Supported by a team of specialists, this course offers an exciting mix of practical workshops and design thinking. You will explore your ideas through drawing, colour, design investigation, and surface and material experimentation.

You will work in the Textile Design studio, an inspirational and stimulating environment at the centre of our creative community. Here, students draw, paint, design, share and test ideas. You will also have access to other practical facilities like our printmaking, ceramics rooms and 3D workshops.

We encourage you to establish your own individual design identity, becoming confident and accomplished in developing print-focused outcomes. Applications span textiles and surfaces for fashion, interior products, gifting, and architectural settings.

You will gain industry experience through a combination of exciting live briefs, international competitions, and employment opportunities via our professional network.

You will learn traditional and crafted techniques such as screen printing and printmaking alongside cutting-edge design practices, surface embellishment, and manipulation processes. These include Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, AVA CAD/CAM, Wacom tablets for digital drawing and laser cutters.

Practical work is underpinned by context - developing an awareness of global issues and ethical concerns including sustainability and intellectual property. Employability, enterprise and entrepreneurship underpin teaching and learning in all modules.
