Overview
Sheridan’s Craft and Design Textiles Studio incorporates a full range of textile processes and techniques to take ideas from design to creation.
Design and create outstanding work
Our Textiles Studio provides a range of traditional and contemporary techniques and methods. Learning from design professionals in our state-of-the-art facilities, you’ll get hands-on experience in 2D and 3D fibre-specific approaches, including printing, weaving, dyeing, off-loom techniques, digital design and sewing. We foster and encourage experimentation and exploration of the fibre medium.
Sheridan`s commitment to sustainable practices
With growing awareness of sustainable industry practices, the Textiles Studio is committed to doing our part. We purchase our dyes from reputable suppliers and grow and harvest our own natural dyes in our Dye Garden, right here on campus. You’ll also help to care for our Dye Garden, making a positive environmental impact and embracing greener textile practices.
