Elements and Performance Criteria
- Develop ideas for ceramic surface treatments
- Discuss, with key people, creative goals for own surface treatment work
- Research, adapt and use relevant ideas and approaches from other practitioners and comply with intellectual property requirements
- Use knowledge of different ceramic surface treatments to inform ideas
- Consider how different surface treatment techniques and ideas can best work together
- Assess the professional potential and presentation requirements for own ceramic work to inform ideas
- Refine and confirm ideas based on experimentation, research and collaboration with others
- Extend ceramic surface treatment skills
- Evaluate potential for new approaches to surface treatments based on known capabilities of techniques already used
- Adapt or introduce new equipment, tools and materials for to achieve different effects
- Extend own capability with different treatments through experimentation on samples, practice pieces or work in progress
- Assess safety and sustainability considerations for ceramic surface treatment work
- Apply surface treatments
- Coordinate required resources and set up according to safety requirements
- Create surface treatments using techniques and media selected from research and experimentation, considering and applying elements and principles of design
- Review and refine ideas and approaches based on ongoing experience with own work production
- Modify applications according to required effect, and identify and resolve technical problems with surface treatments
- Label ceramic surface treatment materials and store safely
- Handle equipment, tools and materials safely; minimise and safely dispose of waste throughout production of ceramic work
- Document development of own work and the research and ideas that informed it
- Evaluate own work
