HEIA WA has worked with Polytechnic West to provide a range of exciting one day textiles workshops. These one day workshops will require between 10-16 participants for them to run, so please register early. HEIA WA is providing a considerable subsidy for members and student members to make them as affordable as possible.

Please note that the workshops are provided at three levels of experience:

  • Introductory – for graduates and beginning teachers of Clothing & Textiles
  • Intermediate:  Suitable for those who require up skilling.
  • Advanced:  Suitable for those requiring more advanced skills

 

General Topics – Intermediate and Advanced level are suitable for current teachers of Years 7 to 10 Clothing and Textiles and Years 11 and 12 Materials Design & Technology – Textiles. Participants would know how to use a commercial pattern and have some experience sewing using a commercial pattern.

  • Intermediate: Suitable for those who require up skilling. You have an understanding of the concepts but may need a refresher or you would like to know if there is a better way of doing things or the current industry techniques.
  • Advanced: Suitable for those requiring more advanced skills and knowledge of current industry techniques.

There is an additional consumables fee for materials used during the workshop which will be charged by Polytechnic on the day MAXIMUM of $26.00.
