Understanding fibres and fabrics

Catering for needs

Core design skills

Pupils will handle, shape and join sheet materials using different manufacturing processes.  They will test and experiment with different mechanical fixing methods and adhesives and then use this knowledge to explain which choices are suitable and why.

Principles of materials and manufacturing

Pupils will develop knowledge and skills of communication, including freehand 3D sketching using the crating technique. They will learn how to render to show texture and tone. They will also learn how to draw using more formal techniques, such as one-point perspective and orthographic projection.
