Design and produce experimental textiles
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
The unit applies to the development of creative and original design concepts using manipulation techniques to create different effects on fibres, fabrics and other materials used in the production of products such as garments, accessories, interior and exterior applications, commissioned objects, and
2-D and 3-D functional and non-functional objects. A design brief may be of one's own determination or specified by a trainer or supervisor and may be applied to a particular context within the textile industry. The design and subsequent calculations and pattern development may be created manually or by using computer aided design programs.
Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related activities.
The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:
requirements prescribed by legislation, awards agreements and conditions of employment
standard operating procedures
work instructions
oral, written and visual communication
quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output
housekeeping
tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recycling
This unit requires the application of skills associated with communication and initiative and enterprise associated with research, present design concepts and develop patterns and specifications. Initiative and enterprise and problem solving will be used to develop the product design. Planning and organising for the safe and effective use of experimental textile technology and operations and an ability to check the quality of outcomes and identify and address problems relating to production or textile product are also required.
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to apply experimental processes to design and produce original textiles.
