Textiles is an ancient craft when entering the
domain of Design, touches unfathomable depths of
creativity. The Bachelor Degree Programme, while
incorporating the sensibilities of the traditional,
the classical and the contemporary, maintains an
interface between materials and making, that
creates a challenging and dynamic environment.
Creation of patterns, weaves, embellishment and
further value addition through motifs, colours and
materials by following current fashion trends and
visual merchandising are some of the major areas
of textile design in which the Department trains
the students. The young textile designers of the
future are trained to face challenges pertaining
to industry and economy, individual and society,
techniques and technologies. The department
expects and encourages the students to bring
forth and experiment with new ideas without a
fear of unsuccessful outcomes. It firmly believes
that overcoming the fear of failure makes a good
designer.
Ecologically and environmentally sustainable design
issues are an important and inherent concern
of the course. The Department maintains that
fabric construction, surface treatments, colour,
pattern and trend forecast are the basics for a
textile designer but an ethical and conscientious
design practice is also a must for a ‘thinking’ textile
designer.
The department maintains hand looms, printing
and dyeing facilities as well as a computer lab for
technological solutions.
Industry-based and craft-interventionist internships
are arranged and highly encouraged.
