GCSE TEXTILES EXAM CHOICES 2015
Task: A
The spiral shapes of shells, ammonites, unfurling leaves, roots, and plant
stems can provide stimuli for textile artists and designers. Twisted,
braided, coiled and plaited yarns may be used to create spiral structures.
Couched and stitched threads can suggest decorative spiral designs. Fabric
artists such as Carol Bryer Fallert and Jane Sassaman use spiral images in
their quilt designs. Milliners Stephen Jones and Philip Treacy sometimes
create spiral-shaped hats.
Investigate appropriate sources and use suitable techniques to create a
textile inspired by Spirals.
Task: B
Domestic textiles such as aprons, tea cosies, oven gloves and tea towels
often depict images of food such as fruit, vegetables, cakes, pastries or
confectionery. Textile designers Danielle Budd, Deirdre Hawken and Susan
