Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to proactively experiment with various ceramic surface treatments and design concepts to decorate a range of ceramic pieces. It involves generating different ideas, developing ceramic surface treatment skills and applying treatments to ceramic surfaces.
The unit applies to those who are still developing technical skills and a personal repertoire of treatments. Individuals often produce work at a pre-professional level for sale in outlets such as markets and fairs. They work independently with limited supervision and guidance as required.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

|
|
Oral Communication
|
- Clearly represents ideas for designs and techniques using applicable industry and conceptual language
- Elicits different perspectives and confirms understanding about creative ideas and feedback using questioning and active listening techniques
|
|
Numeracy
|
- Determines required quantities of equipment, tools and materials using basic calculations
|
|
Self-management
|
- Takes responsibility for compliance with legal, safety and sustainability practices associated with creative work
- Takes responsibility for completing own creative works from design inception to realisation, sequencing the stages of preparation and production according to work requirements
- Manages own decisions about applicable design ideas and techniques by experimenting with different explored option
|
|
Teamwork
|
- Discusses design concepts and collaborates with other artists to generate new ideas and solutions to achieve best outcomes for own creative work
- Engages in an open conversation to elicit and consider the merit of feedback from peers and others to enhance future performance
|
|
Problem-solving

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:
- apply a surface treatment to at least two different ceramic works.
In the course of the above, the candidate must:
- use a process of thorough research and experimentation to confirm ideas for own work
- identify and acquire resources required to complete chosen work
- adapt and use different surface treatment techniques that:
- shows technical proficiency in chosen techniques
- reflects application of the elements and principles of design
- demonstrates innovation and the emergence of an individual style
- handle equipment, tools and materials safely throughout application of surface treatments
- minimise and safely dispose of waste throughout application of surface treatments
- review and document the research and development 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:
- intellectual property requirements applicable to producing ceramic works
- methods used to research creative and technical approaches to surface treated ceramic works
- how the works of other practitioners may be used to inform individual practice
- role of experimentation in developing and refining ideas for surface treatment work and how it relates to the development of an individual style
- ways to adapt, extend and combine the capabilities of different surface treatment techniques
- elements and principles of design: detailed characteristics, key interrelationships, use in surface treated ceramic work and how they may be challenged
- physical properties and capabilities of different materials used to produce ceramic works
- suppliers of resources for professional ceramic practice, including surface treatment materials
- practices and procedures for working safely and sustainably with materials, tools and equipment for producing ceramic works.
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.
