A range of books, subject-specific periodicals and journals, newspaper and other related articles, as well as texts relating to the design process and the promotion of design relevant to your course of study should be employed as negotiated with the module manager - together with any subject-specific visual, audio or audio-visual evidence to support your work.

You will be expected to take advantage of the extensive library facilities available within the University; keeping abreast of current developments through appropriate periodicals and being aware of the work of major practitioners in your subject.

Surface Pattern Design Studio (H74) (H4 & H5)
Surface Decoration Workshop
Surface Pattern Seminar Room (H75)

Non-specialist computing facilities for email, internet access, word processing, database, spreadsheet and basic presentations will be available through the University's 'Information Services' on-campus facilities - the exception being the 'studio browsers' which are located in base rooms/studios and will provide mainly email and internet access which are provided by the Faculty.

Specialist skills 'modulettes' will be assigned to this module. A comprehensive list of the modulettes is available from the Faculty Office, together with the current operational parameters for the modulettes (instruction description, maximum group size, time allocation, level etc). Some modules will have will have more than one modulette assigned to it and this information will also be held by the Faculty Office.

Building on the acquisition of workshop skills gained at Level One, and generating imagery through drawing and mark-making, you will be introduced to a more specific technical print programme, including general Surface Pattern studio and Surface Decoration workshop Health and Safety training and focussing on the printing, dyeing and embellishment of fabric. Technical competence will be developed together with an awareness of material and process costing, and you will also have a greater understanding of design interpretation and preparation for screen printing onto fabric including practical experience of repeats, mixing inks and dyes, and exploring composition and arrangement. An emphasis on team work and good workshop practice is paramount, together with good time management and organisational skills.
