After two basic projects students design and create projects that are of their own choosing. Students are also given the opportunity to build electronics and instruments like an electric guitar, provided that the students are willing to bear some of the cost of materials. The same things are taught that are taught in the basic technical shop course, but naturally in the 158-hour course more time remains for designing projects and one has the opportunity to carryout more extensive projects. A broad spectrum of textile techniques including sewing, thread work, embroidery, cross stitch and crewel work along with an introduction to the various materials in today's home textiles. In addition to supplementing basic skills, advanced textile studies gives students the opportunity to specialize in those areas of textiles that are of particular interest.
Projects can be more complicated and time consuming than in the basic course.
