This unit introduces students to historical and contemporary approaches to material process and print design for textiles and garment. Students will gain skills in dye and chemical processes, print methods, colour and fabric manipulation linked to self-directed research and journal work. Alongside practical workshops the unit will develop critical awareness of the historical and cultural positioning of image, patterns and text and how these elements may be referenced to locate work formally and conceptually. It will include an exploration of print and manipulation processes as contextual elements within the work of relevant contemporary designers and fashion collections.

In practical workshops, students are introduced to properties of textiles and dye, print and manipulation processes with a focus on creative possibilities while also addressing technical and OS&H considerations. Lecturer demonstration, followed by student participation, takes place in the dedicated textile, print and dye studios with support from the fashion technician. Technical processes are supported with instructional material, academic and industry references. Once key methods have been introduced, students apply acquired skills to develop self-directed design outcomes with support and feedback from the lecturer and technician.
