Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to proactively experiment with various throwing techniques and design concepts to create thrown ceramic work. It involves generating different ideas, developing throwing skills and creating finished ceramic works using extended throwing skills.The unit applies to those who are still developing technical throwing skills and an individual style through dedicated practice at the wheel. 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.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Develop ideas for thrown work
