Description
This subject introduces students to constructed textiles by exploring the structural, conceptual, and technical opportunities knitting offers. The subject is practice-based and includes technical knitting processes and production using a variety of domestic knitting machine gauges. Students are taught fundamental techniques using standard yarns and encouraged to experiment and challenge conventions as they progress through creative design thinking. They explore a range of materials and processes that can be used in specialist areas such as women's and men's wear or complementary design disciplines. This subject is the only one offered at the university level in New South Wales, appealing to students who desire to create innovative fabrics with imaginative visual and material properties.
