    Futurescan 4: Valuing Practice University of Bolton, UK 23rd-24th January 2019 ABSTRACTS & BIOGRAPHIES Futurescan 4: Valuing Practice 23rd-24th January 2019 University of Bolton, UK Fashion and textiles practice intersects traditional processes and innovative technologies. Tacit knowledge acquired through hand skills, making, utilising equipment and working with processes is fundamental to developing understanding. Although practical learning is valued, the teaching of creative and making subjects is under threat in formal education. Within the fashion and textile industries there are skills shortages. Heritage crafts risk being lost as digital technologies and automation impact upon future generations. The Association of Fashion & Textile Courses (FTC) conference Futurescan 4: Valuing Practice, provides an international forum for the dissemination of research, creative practice and pedagogy surrounding fashion and textiles. Contributions from established and early career researchers, postgraduates, practitioners, makers and educators regarding completed proJects or work in progress under the following topics: • Valuing Artisan Skills, Drawing and Making • Learning from History, Tradition and Industry • Collaborating and Cross-disciplinary Working • Integrating and Connecting Digital Technologies • Designing Responsibly and Working Sustainably • Promoting Diversity, Employability and Community • Investigating Creative Processes and Pedagogy The conference includes keynote speaker presentations, full papers (20-minute presentations), short papers (10-minute presentations) and examples of practice-based work. Association of Fashion and Textile Courses (FTC) The Association of Fashion and Textile Courses (FTC) was formed in 1977. Today, the FTC exists as a subject association to promote and develop fashion and textiles through academic debate, education and research. Through its networks, the FTC has extensive links with industry, public and professional bodies and acts to advise on quality in educational matters nationally and internationally.

  • Major Capital of Culture Role for Leeds Arts University
    Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Major Capital of Culture role for Leeds Arts University Leeds Arts University has a major role to play in helping secure European Capital of Culture status in 2023, according to the city’s Lord Mayor. Coun Jane Dowson praised the range of facilities and courses available at the University during a recent tour of the Blenheim Walk campus in the city centre. The Lord Mayor of Leeds met the University’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Simone Wonnacott, along with students working in their studios. “The facilities here are wonderful, and the students are getting such a superb breadth of experience,” said Coun Dowson. “There are so many areas here to study, such as fine art, fashion, illustration, animation, printed textiles and music. “It’s so important to have facilities like these in our city because art has such a huge part to play in the bid to become European Capital of Culture in 2023. “The bid shows how ambitious we are to make Leeds an even more inspiring place to live, study and work.” Coun Dowson’s visit was arranged to celebrate the university – formally Leeds College of Art - being granted full university status by the Privy Council last August. Leeds Arts University is now the only specialist arts university in the North of England. Leeds Arts University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Simone Wonnacott, said: “It has been a pleasure to show the Lord Mayor around the award-winning facilities we’re are able to offer our students as a specialist arts university. “Coun Dowson was particularly interested in the wide range of courses we offer, and the fact that students travel from across the globe to study here.
