The Certificate in Design, Patchwork and Quilting (2 Years) provides students with the opportunity to explore the subject in some depth.

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 Unit 1 in the design and production of these items.
