Program details
Overview
Delivered at the Atelier textile, described on the page as the only centre in Quebec offering training at this level, this Métiers d'art specialization (DEC 573.AD) in Impression textile trains students to design textile motifs and patterns, dye and print fabric, and work with natural dyes and printing techniques such as screen printing and sublimation for fashion, home, and stage applications. Classes are kept small, taught by practising textile designers, combining traditional pattern-making with design software, alongside the business, marketing, and art-history coursework shared across Métiers d'art specializations. Students collaborate with outside designers and organizations, including fashion designers, museums, universities, and fashion colleges, and exhibit their work. Graduates gain a year of free access to the school's workshops as part of an incubator program, and the page notes eligibility for government grants supporting textile creators. It suits students interested in surface design and dye techniques for fabric rather than construction-based textile work. Described career paths include textile designer, dye and screen-printing specialist, colourist, and self-employed artisan or entrepreneur working independently or through professional design fairs.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Cégep du Vieux Montréal's page for Techniques des métiers d'art : Impression textile (573.AD) states no course-specific prerequisites beyond the college's general admission conditions; both this programme's admission page and the institution's general admission page direct applicants to admission.sram.qc.ca. The academic basis is a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) or Diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP), having completed the standard secondary language, second-language and mathematics courses, or an equivalent Canadian diploma; SRAM ranks candidates using Secondary 4 and 5 grades and subject averages, with advanced math or science selection earning a bonus. Applicants without French-language schooling in Quebec must pass the college's own French-proficiency test; no pass mark is published. This programme is one of Cégep du Vieux Montréal's programmes explicitly open to international-student admission, per its own admission page: international applicants need a diploma equivalent to the DES (11 to 13 years of schooling, or the baccalauréat route for French-medium systems) plus this programme's own prerequisites, apply through the same SRAM portal for a CAD 85 fee, and must obtain a CAQ and study permit before enrolling.
