The textile department is called TXT, short for textile and text. Both words are derived from the Latin verb tessere, meaning ‘to weave’. The department explores the relationship between materiality and the written word from different perspectives. This makes TXT a department for making and thinking, for hands and head. In the weaving and the textile workshops, students learn a variety of textile-making and printing techniques. During their studies, students translate these techniques into different fields of work and research.
