On the Textile Design degree course here at BCU we deliver a dynamic experience that celebrates the diversity of both our students and the contemporary world of textiles. We recognise that creativity can flourish in different ways and along with our flexible approach to technical learning in the areas of print, weave, embroidery and knit, students are also supported in identifying and targeting appropriate audiences and industry sectors that align with their skillset and future ambitions.

We are proud to showcase the work of our graduates at New Designers 2021 and hope that you enjoy the distinctiveness of the work on show. The projects tackle thought-provoking themes relating to the human condition and our ever-changing environment, which are explored through both hand-craftsmanship and digital technologies to propose ideas that will positively shape our future. Along with their subject expertise, the graduates of 2021 have demonstrated an extraordinary resilience and ability to problem-solve that has helped them navigate positively through this challenging year; qualities that will help them to thrive in the professional world.
