771662 (CERTIFICATE)
The Certificate in Design, Patchwork and Quilting (2 Years) provides students with the opportunity to explore the subject in some depth.
In Unit 1-Design for Craft students will prepare a portfolio of artwork in order to show an understanding of colour, texture, line, shape and form developed from the study of a variety of source materials. Techniques will include drawing, painting, printing, rubbings, collage and mixedmedia.
In Unit 2-Patchwork and Quilting, students will produce a portfolio of stitched samples and cover the dyeing, printing and painting of fabric. Over the course of two years students will complete five assessments. It is expected that students will incorporate the skills learned in both units in the design and production of these items.
