Fibre

Fibre objects and textiles are among the oldest and most diverse of human expressive forms. They are an integral component of our lives and contemporary aesthetic.

In the Fibre studio, traditional and contemporary practices co-exist with explorations in a diverse variety of techniques and materials in both two and three-dimensional contexts. This technical hands-on education is balanced with a thorough exposure to contemporary philosophy and ideas.

The two-year diploma program is designed to provide a high quality learning environment to prepare graduates for their pursuit of a career as studio practitioners. The first year serves as the foundation, giving students a strong grounding in hands-on processes. The students will work with diverse materials building a tactile as well as a visual language. The second year program offers students exposure to a deeper level of study and understanding of contemporary design for fibre/textile processes. Through advanced techniques and theories and personally directed work, students begin to develop a signature and start to put into practice professional marketing strategies.
