Textile is a craft as old as human civilization. The four year programme incorporates the current, the traditional and the classical design practices in the profession. It is an interface between material and making that creates a challenging and dynamic environment. Patterns, weaves, knits, embroidery, embellishment and value addition through motifs, colours, materials, fashion trends and visual merchandising are some of the areas of textile design. The young textile designers are trained to face challenges pertaining to industry and economy,
individual and society, techniques and technologies. The department trains the students to weave new ideas into industry or industry into their ideas by making them work around a rigorous routine of industry based internship programmes.
The department maintains hand looms, block printing, manual screen printing, and dyeing of fabric and yarn facilities as well as a computer lab for technological solutions. Ecologically and environmentally sustainable design issues are made an important concern of the course. Hence courses and workshops on naturally extracted dyes and their applicability are an important part of the curriculum. Fabric construction, surface treatments, colour, pattern and trend forecast are the basics for a textile designer but an ethical and conscientious design practice is also a must for a textile designer.
