What will I learn?
Design and Production develops skills in the design and construction of products within an area of specialisation. An understanding and skills in handling the nominated material will be gained through the production of items in response to design briefs.
This course enables learners to design and make products in one of the following areas of specialisation:

- Textiles
Students will develop an understanding of the design process to generate well-considered responses to the briefs. Students learn to draw on a range of strategies to plan, generate and realise commercial and domestic products. They will use a diverse range of techniques to communicate their intentions and their design proposals including colour visuals, orthographic and working drawings, sketches, digital, virtual or three-dimensional presentations.
Students will submit a design folio and complete products exhibiting competent technical skills and processes in working with their chosen materials. Review and evaluation of processes and products will be undertaken.
