Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to explore and use different combined techniques to produce finished ceramic work from design concepts which are reviewed and adjusted during the work in progress. It involves planning works, preparing associated resources and creating ceramic works according to technical quality requirements.
The unit applies to those who are still developing their expertise in design and technique. They work under supervision but have some independence and use discretion and judgement within defined guidelines.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Performance Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including evidence of the ability to:
- produce one or more ceramic works according to at least two different work ideas.
In the course of the above, the candidate must:
- explore ideas, techniques and historical and contemporary ceramic practice and choose techniques to support own work
- identify and acquire resources required to complete chosen work
- adapt and use combined ceramic techniques that show technical proficiency and quality in chosen techniques
- handle equipment, tools and materials safely and to minimise wastage
- review and document the work process.
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of:
- basic intellectual property considerations when making ceramics
- methods of exploring techniques to achieve different effects in ceramic work
- technical quality requirements associated with different ceramic works
- main aspects of historical and contemporary ceramic practice and how they can inform own design ideas
- elements and principles of design: key characteristics, key interrelationships and use in ceramics
- tools and equipment used to produce ceramic work: key physical features and uses, cleaning and maintenance techniques and storage requirements
- physical properties and capabilities of different materials and techniques used to produce ceramic work
- typical work space requirements for producing ceramic work and ways of organising space and equipment for efficient work operation
- procedures for working safely with ceramics materials, tools and equipment.
Assessment Conditions
Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a workplace or simulated environment where the conditions are typical of those in a working environment in this industry.
This includes access to:
