KS3 - Textiles
Choose a subject
During KS3 students work on projects which include designing and making printed cushions/bags/shoes and shirts.
We are a well equipped department with 37 Bernina Sewing Machines, 5 Overlockers and 1 Embellisher machine. We also have three heat presses for fabric printing, a sublimation printer for digital fabric printing, screen printing equipment and over 30 dressmaking mannequins.
Students enjoy textiles as it allows them time in the curriculum to be creative, solve problems and work independently.
