Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design and produce functional or artistic glass objects using kiln casting techniques. It involves research to develop own design and refinement of kiln casting technique through experimentation and dedicated practice.The unit applies to visual artists who are highly skilled in the specific techniques for kiln cast glasswork and who realise an individual professional style and a coherent body of creative work. They work with a high level of independence seeking mentoring and guidance as required.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
