Mixed media craft involves mixing different creative mediums to create work that incorporates two or more art forms. Mixed media is all about breaking the boundaries between different art forms. During each class you will be generating a collective of final work including stitched samples, experimental textile art and traditional techniques using hand or machine sewing.
For this course, you will be working towards a ‘final piece’. During the weeks, you will work to develop an initial idea, keeping sketches and sample pieces along with reference materials and research. At the end of the course, your portfolio along with your final piece of craft will be internally moderated, then the moderation will be checked by an external moderator for consistency. You will then be issued with a certificate and eligible to enrol on the Entry Level 3, or Level 1. - Course level and content
