Cork is alive with textiles interest and textiles excellence.  Now the Crawford College of Art and Design is recognising and accommodating the demand for third-level education in textiles with a part-time Level 8 Special Purpose Award in Fine Art Textiles. 

Do you have a Level 6 textiles qualification and wish to progress toward a higher level?  Or do you have many years of self-taught expertise in textiles, and have been active in producing art textiles–and would like to join a challenging group to learn more about conceptual development in the context of historical and critical research?  Would you like to enter third-level, but would prefer a part-time option due to work/family commitments, or just as a ‘taster’ and as a possible route toward Degree? Or are you a practicing artist who has encountered the potential of textiles methods and concerns in the development of your work, and would like to gather skills and knowledge in the textiles area as a kind of post-grad option?

In the Crawford we have existing Fine Art Textiles modules taught as an option to our Degree students.  Our Course makes these available to new part-time students, and combines these with new modules in textiles history and critical theory, to provide a challenging programme to answer many perceived needs.
