Apply dyeing techniques to produce Indigenous textile designs

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to apply dyeing techniques to produce Indigenous textile designs.

The unit of competency applies to the use of tie dye and silk dyeing techniques to produce culturally-specific designs and artworks for fabrics.

The unit of competency should be customised to accommodate the image use and design protocols and techniques specific to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

selecting dye formula, and measuring and mixing dyes to achieve desired result

preparing fabric, tools and equipment

using tools and equipment effectively with attention to detail to achieve desired result

dyeing a single or two colour design on at least three (3) fabric samples

modifying design and technique as required

cleaning and storing materials and equipment.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

relevant Australian Standards

cultural protocols for using images, designs and printing techniques

examples of works of identified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and textile designers

elements and principles of design in identified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artwork

Assessors must:

satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator

have vocational competency textile dyeing techniques, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.

Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
