About Costume With Textiles BA(hons) in University of Huddersfield
So much goes into designing and creating a successful costume. You’ll analyse, interpret and make the visual elements of character expression and storytelling through the relationship between costume, the body, and movement. We’ll encourage you to take risks and to question and challenge your work.
Studying our Costume with Textiles course will encourage you to:
- Investigate design, textiles and construction techniques to give you a thorough grounding in all aspects of costume.
- Experiment in costume design and illustration, textile design, pattern cutting and construction techniques, bespoke garment fitting, and final costume realisation.
- Develop professional costume skills such as text/music/character analysis, in-depth visual and contextual research methods, communication and presentation practice and applying reflection and critical evaluation
- Learn practical textile specialisms including embroidery and print, as developed and used in the costume field. Try new techniques for ageing and breaking down textiles in costume for a variety of performance areas. We’ll give you the chance to get out and about, with trips to current costume-related exhibitions, performances, and events.
Our design, construction, and textiles studios are home to facilities that help bring your ideas to life including computer-aided design (CAD), and traditional and contemporary embroidery and printing techniques including handcrafting, laser cutting and digital printing.
