You will have the opportunity to learn new exciting techniques including – silk painting, stencilling, printing, embroidery, quilting, fabric construction, knitting, weaving, embellishment etc.

Textiles Technology is a dynamic GCSE course which will challenge learners to develop a critical and thoughtful approach to designing.

On this wikispaces site the notes and resources are suitable for both AQA and for Edexcel GCSE - though we are using AQA I feel that Edexcel present their course content in a more cohesive and organised manner. =Specifications = As this is a new course at Sha Tin College - we shall be developing the course, and its scheme of work as we go through the year. As guidance I have included the Edexcel and AQA specifications & schemes of work.
