Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor |
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to use manipulation techniques to create a variety of different effects using fabrics, fibres and other materials for 2D and 3D design effects. |
Application of the Unit
Application of the Unit |
The unit applies to the manipulation of a range of fibres, fabrics and other material used in the production of garments, accessories, interior and exterior applications, commissioned textiles and objects. Evidence of competency in this skill requires a minimum of three types of manipulation. Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related activities. The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:
This unit requires the application of learning, problem solving and initiative and enterprise associated with achieving experimental manipulation outcomes. This unit also requires an ability to check the effects of outcomes and identify and address problems relating to production. |
