Unit Descriptor
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to produce glasswork by exploring and applying a range of techniques, tools, equipment and materials.
Application of the Unit
People still developing their glassworking expertise apply the skills and knowledge in this unit. They produce finished glass items building on and combining a range of techniques to support the ideas of the work.
At this level, work is usually undertaken under supervision, though some autonomy and judgement can be expected within established parameters.
Licensing/Regulatory Information
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Pre-Requisites
Not applicable.
Employability Skills Information
This unit contains employability skills.

Performance Criteria |
|
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
|
1. Plan glassworking through exploration |
1.1 Explore ideas and techniques for glassworking in consultation with key people as required 1.2 Review historical and contemporary glassworking practice as a potential source of ideas 1.3 Clarify ideas for glassworking based on exploration and discussion 1.4 Assess the capabilities of glassworking techniques through practice and adaptation 1.5 Select techniques that best support the ideas for the work |
|
2. Prepare, maintain and store glassworking resources |
2.1 Select and organise glassworking tools, equipment and materials suited to the chosen work 2.2 Prepare and maintain resources based on the needs of the work 2.3 Take responsibility for the safe and sustainable use of resources 2.4 Store resources according to the needs of different items |
|
3. Create finished glasswork |
3.1 Safely use and adapt glassworking techniques to create desired effects 3.2 Review work in progress and make adjustments as required to produce final work 3.3 Add value to the current work process and future work by documenting the work progress 3.4 Liaise with others to obtain feedback on work in terms of its technical proficiency and success in communicating ideas |
