How does one get into fabric/textile design?

I am an artist and many people have suggested I make my art into fabric or rugs.





But, I have no idea how to go about getting into that industry. So, I am curious about where to find those kinds of jobs. Or, where you can take classes in it. Or pretty much anything else about that industry.





I guess I would also be interested in things like gift wrap design and wall paper design as well. I don't know if they are part of the same industry or not!

How does one get into fabric/textile design?
Virginia Polytechnic Institute offered art degres in textile design at one time.





I don't know if gift wrap design, etc., are part of the same industry but it's certainly the same skills: design!





I would do an online search of textile artists and manufacturers and try speaking with some human resource people to find out what qualifications are needed.

Click on the Bachelors of Fine Arts link to the left to see what classes you have to take. There's also a course descriptions link. I think this is exactly what you're looking for.
