RISD's Textiles BFA prepares you to become a highly skilled designer in the field, while also taking a fine arts approach to making, with special projects and classes focusing creating one-of-a-kind works of art. As you develop artistically and hone your design and creative process, you learn to apply newfound technical skills and advanced techniques to making innovative two- and three-dimensional work. In the first year of the program you learn various methods of print design, silkscreen, weaving, knitting and dyeing before choosing to focus on either fine arts work or industry-related projects. Juniors then concentrate on more advanced techniques by focusing on an area or areas of personal interest, developing individual concepts and broadening perspectives by taking courses in other disciplines. In addition to producing a final degree project, seniors pursue internships designed to strengthen connections to the professional world.
