Textile Design at IGCSE

The IGCSE Textiles Design course at Deira International School is a vibrant and growing addition to our Visual Arts department, enthusiastically embraced by our students. This course is ideal for creative individuals interested in exploring the endless possibilities of textiles as an artistic medium. It begins with a 12-week workshop designed to welcome students of all skill levels, offering hands-on experience with various techniques and styles. From freehand embroidery and basic sewing machine skills to melting plastics, stitch techniques, appliqué, and much more. Students have the opportunity to experiment and discover their strengths in a supportive environment.

Students will complete two coursework components, each contributing 50% of their final grade, enabling them to showcase their creativity and talent through Textiles Design. The course emphasises building an exceptional portfolio of work, celebrated both within the school and in external exhibitions, providing students with recognition and a sense of accomplishment. By engaging in this innovative course, students gain valuable technical and creative skills, fostering their artistic growth and laying the groundwork for further studies or careers in the dynamic field of textile design.
