Textile Design
Reid Building, 23 students
The work of the Textile Design 2025 cohort demonstrates exploration of ideas through drawing, colour, design, materials and technical processes. Inspiration and project themes include natural and manufactured environments, personal collections, religious relics, heritage details, form, reflection and distortion, place, memory and well-being. Responsible and sustainable design manifests through material, process, application and context.
Textile Design at The Glasgow School of Art encourages learning from heritage techniques and innovation through process, material, colour and design. We offer the opportunity to study weave, knit, print and embroidery before specialisation in one of these pathways.
