Textile 1
The education is focused on the artisanal production of textiles, primarily through weaving, dyeing, embroidery, color and form theory.
The first year largely consists of basic technical and theoretical courses with the aim of giving the student the basic knowledge needed to be able to work independently with different expressions. The training also includes shorter periods of project work, which places demands on independence and motivation. The study method is deliberately chosen to provide training for a qualified professional activity or studies at university.
The well-equipped workshop and a wide range of supervisor skills enable the creation of both traditional craft items and pure artistic expressions or industrial design. The training aims to give the student a conscious approach to their creation as well as a good technical and theoretical foundation in the textile field.
Duration of education: One academic year (40 weeks)
Eligibility requirements: High school diploma or equivalent and approved work samples.
Scheduled time per week on average: 35 clock hours, 25 of which are teacher-led.

Textile 2
The build-up year largely consists of project work with personally carried out planning and individual supervision. The nature of the teaching places great demands on independence and motivation, as the education offers great freedom and responsibility for the student in the choice of in-depth projects.

The study method is deliberately chosen to provide training for a qualified professional activity in the textile field or for further studies at university.

About Image and Form
Capellagården's courses have an artistic orientation with scheduled time for drawing and painting under qualified artistic guidance. The training of the hand and eye in the workshops is supplemented in the painting studio with color, form and composition exercises, where individual conditions are taken into account. Painting/drawing is arranged in four week-long blocks distributed over the school year.
A general history of art with an emphasis on Western art is taught as a separate course for all first-year students. Before fairs and exhibitions, there is work around presentation and exhibition technology.
