Description
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 preprofessional 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.
