About this course

Free Level 2 Floral Design Course in Hastings. Classes run at East Sussex College Hastings Station Plaza Campus, part-time on Monday mornings and afternoons.

The course focuses on textiles. You'll research a project using primary sources of inspiration, then apply design elements such as texture, colour, line, and form. You'll develop your own ideas to meet a brief and make a finished textile item. The course runs over 8 weeks and suits anyone who can commit to a regular daytime session. Some experience of textile work or sewing is helpful before you start.

You'll finish with an NCFE Level 2 Award in Creative Craft.

Who this course is for

This qualification is for adults aged 19 and over. It aims to extend and further develop learners' skills and to extend learners' knowledge and understanding of the creative craft process. In the Level 2 Creative Craft textile pathway, you will research and develop a textile project exploring different primary sources of inspiration. Applying design elements such as texture, colour, line and form, you will develop your own ideas to fit a brief and make a textile item.
