<p>preferably in the us, but i am also interested in applying for schools in the uk. thank you!</p>
<p>RISD has the best textile design program in the United States… it was founded as a textile school, and the facilities/staff are excellent.</p>
<p>Illustration at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago is particularly strong. While it is not a stand-alone “major”, the program is highly regarded. Best of luck!</p>
<p>RISD also has a highly regarded Illustration major. (I’m biased, but, well.)</p>
<p>I have to put in another good word for RISD’s Textiles department as well. I saw their senior show this spring and it just about knocked me off my feet.</p>
<p>Check out Philadelphia University - they used to be the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Mills and still have an awesome program in textile design. [Textile</a> Design](<a href=“Redirecting...”>Redirecting...)</p>
<p>Actually check out Syracuse University. They have a number of faculty who won awards in illustration. I also think that they might have textile design too.</p>
