International Textile Alliance Educational Gala

Marcia Weiss presented the Fashion & Textiles Futures Center at the International Textile Alliance Educational Gala on December 5^th in Highpoint NC. As a result of the strong efforts by Textile Design Advisory Board member Wesley Mancini, the International Textile Alliance sponsored the renovations to the Textile Design studio. The studio will be named the International Textile Alliance Textile Design Collaborative Studio. Great thanks to Wesley for the ongoing support!

The Bachelors of Science in Textile Design and Masters of Science in Textile Design programs provide integration and balance between creative design and technology. In the undergraduate program, students explore weaving, knitting and printing, with the opportunity for advanced course work in the areas of their choice. Students in the graduate program are required to specialize in one area (knit, weave or print), but are encouraged to incorporate the other areas of textile design through their foundation courses, elective or design studio work.

Design research is stressed from the beginning of the programs. Being in the a major city is a great resource as is The Design Center at Jefferson with its textile collection from around the world.
