Program Overview

Our MA Textiles course, based at UCA Farnham for 2022 entry, will develop your individual research into textile art, culture, craft and design, enabling you to combine your experience of textiles practice with a personal project.

You will be encouraged to challenge yourself, to explore and transform your own work using new materials, processes, techniques and ideas to emerge with a renewed sense of personal vision.

This fresh perspective and sense of self will aid you as you embark on your career as a freelance design professional, curator, gallery director or textile designer.

You'll benefit from our links with established artists and designers drawn from a multi-national cohort. Our team comprises eminent professors, visiting scholars, academics and associate lecturers, experienced practitioners, designer-makers, artists and researchers who work in the industry, produce commissions, regularly exhibit and are published internationally.
