The Surface Pattern and Textiles programme is a vibrant, multidisciplinary programme that focuses on an exploration of textiles, materiality, pattern and making. It is academically challenging, contemporary in outlook, and you will be taught a wealth of practical and technical skills, enjoying the design potential of our extensive innovative digital and traditional facilities.
We bring our students together to create a strong group identity, while the pathways allow you to choose a specialism. The studio culture is at the heart of the Surface Pattern and Textiles student experience, creating a professionally focused, collaborative learning environment that aims to mirror the workplace with a positive, engaging, open approach to working with others.
Our students graduate as designers and makers, ready to flourish in a range of creative jobs and enterprises, having had several significant live projects, exhibition experiences and industry liaisons embedded in their studies. This is a defining feature of our programme. Live projects have been run with Rolls Royce Bespoke Interiors, H&M Design, Eley Kishimoto London, Hallmark UK and Orangebox. The programme is dynamic, built to grow and mirror the creative industry you will pitch to, with employability at its core.
Surface Pattern and Textiles has materiality at the core, meeting the needs of students who wish to specialise as Designer Makers of the future. You will make innovative work suitable for far-reaching bespoke, or batch production outcomes, relating to design, craft, gallery, object, body or space - you decide!

Western Mail - WEEK END
Quilts have long been associated with community, bringing people together, to create and pass on traditional skills, steeped in the narrative of a time and a place, telling stories of the individuals or groups who have made them. And that’s certainly true at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, (UWTSD) where students, staff, school pupils and the wider community are helping to create and share a part of the University’s story, 200 years on.
2022 sees the University celebrate its 200th year and as part of the celebrations, a team from UWTSD’s Swansea College of Art have put together an ambitious project.
Referencing the iconic Welsh notion of Cwtch, and our deep affection for Welsh blankets, “Carthen” and quilts, the Cwilt 200 project aims to bring together the far reaching and diverse UWTSD community, extending across campuses, towns, cities, and continents, to friends, graduates, and local groups through a 200-block quilt – each block telling a unique story.
UWTSD’s Surface Pattern Design and Textiles programme, and the Graduate Artists in Residence of 21/22, have prepared and hosted a selection of workshops which have included pupils from local schools, community groups, as well as sessions attended by 100 students at the leading London graduate design show New Designers.
UWTSD Senior lecturer Georgia McKie said: “As an institution we too are pieced together; made up of many parts new and old. Eclectic and characterful; we have been gathered and stitched together over our 200-year history. We hope to reflect this rich heritage and celebrate our future legacy through Cwilt 200.
“We have certainly sparked joy through the workshops via shared experiences of conversation, pieced material, stich and making.
“Making this accessible to the breadth of our community has been integral to the aims of the project. There is differentiated appeal across the workshop sessions; to those with established skills in Surface Pattern & Textiles; to those with an emerging interest in making and creating; to those who are yet to experience the joys of working with textiles.”
With the final selection of the 200 pieces almost complete, on December 5, a team will gather at the University’s Dynevor Building to start the process of quilting.
