Presentation of the diploma
The Textile Designer-Makers degree at the École Duperré offers specializations in three options: embroidery, tapestry as constructed textiles and weaving.
Course content and professional openings
The course is based mainly on supporting individual development through projects that are linked to practical and theoretical classes. By highlighting practical and technical knowledge relevant to contemporary textile practices, the students are encouraged to explore and master a wide range of traditional and contemporary techniques and materials, acquiring the necessary knowledge to enable them to participate actively within the cultural, economical and social contexts of their future careers.
A two year course
The DMA Textile is a two year course. A choice of projects helps the students to develop investigative and research skills through manipulating materials, the use of photography and computers. Personal strengths and interests start to emerge.
In year two the students pursue their personal direction with a self selected major project and an open exhibition of their work, that reflects a contemporary outlook and offers inventive technical conclusions.
This work method offers a unique approach that places the student at the centre of contemporary textile practices.
