Textile desgn has been taught and researched at The Glasgow School of Art since it was founded in 1845 and today, the Department of Textiles enjoys a global reputation for cultivating assured graduates.
Textile and Fashion graduates from the GSA have clear and individual creativity identities. They are able to position themselves and their ideas with knowledgeable authority in the fields of not only textiles and fashion but a range of other industries such as interior design, automotive industry and retail.
Our students acquire a thorough understanding of the design process. They develop in-depth drawing and colour expertise alongside traditional craft skills, CAD and high end technologic equipment such as digital jacquard looms.
The resulting design work produced by our students is both seductive and unpredictable - diverse sources of starting and finishing points are always in evidence and the traditional craft skills and new technologies jostle with each other, sometimes embraced or rejected simultaneously, creating the most fascinating and exquisite hybrids.
With an international community of over 150 students at undergraduate and postgraduate level, the Department is a vibrant, lively and exciting place to study.
We look forward to welcoming you.
