Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to develop designs and produce woven tapestry products to meet a specified design brief.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Develop woven tapestry product design
  • 1.1 Design requirements and specifications are interpreted from brief and elements of design are analysed.
  • 1.2 Design is developed to meet design brief and in line with principles of design and product purpose
  • 1.3 Communication tools are used to present tapestry design for feedback.
  • 1.4 Feedback is received and design adjusted accordingly.
  • 1.5 Design is confirmed for production.
2 Plan production of woven tapestry design sample
  • 2.1 Technical aspects of production are identified
  • 2.2 Specificationsheet is completed to guide production
  • 2.3 Calculations are undertaken to determine yarn quantities
  • 2.4 Tapestry cartoon is developed
  • 2.5 Materials, tools and equipment required for production are selected and prepared.
3 Produce woven tapestry design sample
  • 3.1 Workstation, tools and equipment are set up according to specifications for work.
  • 3.2 Yarns to be woven are checked against quality standards.
  • 3.3 Tapestry techniques are undertaken to meet design specifications for sample and according to OHS practices.
  • 3.4 Tapestry sample is checked to ensure quality standards including colour density, yarn suitability, and warp to weft ratio.
4 Evaluate design and production processes
  • 4.1 Tapestry sample is assessed against design specifications, cartoon and design brief.
  • 4.2 Tapestry faults are identified and design or production problems recognised
  • 4.3 Design is analysed and evaluated to identify opportunities for improvement.
  • 4.4 Production process is evaluated to identify opportunities for improvement.
  • 4.5 Process and improvements are documented.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
analyse and interpret design brief
apply design processes to development of design
communicate design concepts
evaluate and modify designs
determine production requirements
produce tapestry design product
evaluate product quality and identify and address any production faults

Consistency in performance
Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
organising work
completing tasks
identifying improvements
using workplace practices
using OHS practices
recording and reporting accidents and incidents
assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes
recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions
completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

Resource implications
Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment
This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.
