Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to interpret design specifications and use stencil or silk-screen printing techniques to produce designs and artworks for textiles to be used for garments, textile products, furnishing fabrics, accessories or public art commissions. Screen printing involves the use of manual techniques, tools and equipment.
This unit applies to individuals producing work based on a pre-determined design. They use judgement and problem-solving to select and troubleshoot processes to achieve quality outcomes.
No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
