Fabric Design Department
The purpose of creating this field is to train textile design specialists so that they can use the cultural and artistic heritage of Iran to design textiles and improve the quality and variety of patterns and designs of fabrics produced in the country and through this be able to compete with imported textiles.
Undergraduate students in textile design can work as designers in design institutes and textile factories, or start design and research activities by setting up small businesses.
In the field of process and quality of education, textile design students in this university, on the one hand, get acquainted with the processes of creating the role of fabric and technical knowledge of fabric production, and on the other hand, study the culture and art of societies and artistic styles to identify people's tastes.
Fabric designs can be created by weaving or printing. Therefore, textile design workshops are divided into "weaving workshops" and "printing workshops".
In the process of textile design workshops, each student will work on design in three levels of "role design", "structure" and "application" by recognizing the fabric.
Because the usage of computers in the design and manufacture of textiles is common all over the world. Students will learn the use of computers in textile design after learning the basic skills required of fabric designers.
Generally, fabric designs are created in workshops with two approaches: fabrics design for interior spaces and furniture and fabrics design of clothing.
In this context, students' deep understanding of the technical aspects of production, yarn and dye properties as well as the use of fabric helps them to visualize the final product.
They must consciously and creatively apply old and new motifs to create a new design, because "creativity" is a necessity in fabric design.
Obviously, there is a need for fabrics and clothes for everyone, and meeting this need will be done with the cooperation of experts in both industry and art.
Therefore, we can expect that textile production is sustainable for human life and there will always be a need to design the role of fabric as the first stage of textile production.
In general, all courses in this field are held on the campus of the Faculty of Applied Arts, and in part, workshop courses in this field are held on the premises of the Textile Design Department, and non-workshop courses are held in the central building of the Faculty of Applied Arts. Students in this field also use the Art Gallery to display their works and dissertation judging sessions. The approximate area of the workshops in this field is about two hundred square meters.
