FIRST-YEAR STUDIO
PROJECT 2
For this project, students were challenged students to explore the relationship between textiles and unrelated visual imagery by combining elements from TADA textile photos with images. The goal was to study and replicate color palettes in different media encouraging experimentation and material exploration.

AVANT-GARDE PROJECT
Fashion and textile design students spend their first year mastering the fundamentals: color, line and form. For their final fall semester project in first-year studio, students create avant-garde garments in half scale. Designers had to incorporate 10 different shapes, as well as surface design and texture elements, into their final product.

INDEPENDENT STUDY
Lainey Volz created her collection, Fruit Salad, during her independent study course using the college’s labs and studios. Lainey was passionate about showcasing design for all sizes in her work, using fruit as a vibrant design element. Her collection was made even more personal with the support and participation of her own friends.

FTD 201 WOVENS
In addition to learning print and knit design, students in FTD 201 are also exposed to jacquard weaving. For this project, students complete simulation workshops on technical logistics, the effect of filling color and presentation techniques. Using this information, students design digital weaving patterns that are then woven by the college’s Jacquard loom.

FTD 201 PRINTS
For this project, sophomore fashion and textile design students learn about color perception and reduction, develop color palettes and explore repeats and motifs. They apply this knowledge to design a digital print collection using computer-aided design (CAD) software. They then develop textile samples and use texture mapping to show how they would be applied as products.

FTD 375
In this class, textile design students learn about color, texture and structure in woven fabrics and weave three sets of samples as well as a final project. They also begin to learn about computerintegrated design for woven products.

FTD 476 JACQUARD KNITTING
This project explores the integration of artisan hand techniques with machine-knit fabrics. Using Shima Seiki Apex software, simple floral knit designs were created to provide space for embellishments like hand-dyeing and bead embroidery. Cotton yarns were selected for use on the 14-gauge SRY knit machine, allowing for the application of natural and sustainable fibers. The resulting samples are intended to support the development of high-end garments.
