FABRIC ARTS

Fabric arts encompass a wide range of tactile, expressive techniques that transform textiles into creative works. This discipline explores colour, texture, pattern, and form through hands-on making, inviting artists of all skill levels to experiment and play.

Students work with a variety of mediums and materials, including:

  • Textiles & Fabrics (cotton, felt, canvas, linen, muslin)

  • Yarns & Fibers (wool, embroidery floss, thread, roving)

  • Sewing & Stitching (hand-sewing, embroidery, visible mending)

  • Surface Design (fabric painting, dyeing, stamping, printmaking)

  • Textile Construction (patchwork, appliqué, quilting basics)

  • Soft Sculpture Materials (stuffing, wire armatures, mixed media elements)

  • Upcycled & Found Materials (old garments, remnant fabrics, trims, buttons, beads)

Fabric arts blend traditional craft with contemporary creativity, offering endless opportunities to layer, stitch, sculpt, and design. Whether creating fiber-based artwork, soft objects, wearable pieces, or mixed-media textiles, students gain both foundational skills and the freedom to explore their own artistic voice.
