A survey of all types of materials used as 21st Century textiles, Textile Design introduces the student to the ways that textiles function as a basic building material. Students will study, test, and manipulate textiles to gain understanding of appropriate and viable choices for end use.

Students may draw upon design problems from their specific area of study to realize a final project.
