CUVVSP27B
Produce jewellery
Application
Not Applicable
Prerequisites
It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed in conjunction with the following units: CUVCOR03B Develop, refine and communicate concept for own work CUVCOR08B Produce drawings to represent and communicate the concept CUVCOR12B Review history and theory for application to artistic practice. Depending on the context, combined assessment and/or training with a range of other units would also be appropriate, e.g.: CUVCRS08B Document the work progress CUVCRS14B Prepare, store and maintain finished work. | |
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1 Prepare and maintain resources for jewellery work. | 1.1 Correctly identify and select tools, equipment and materials required for the production of jewellery. 1.2 Prepare, clean and maintain tools, equipment and materials in accordance with relevant workplace procedures and safety requirements. 1.3 Organise and maintain work space so that it remains clean and safe. 1.4 Store tools, equipment and materials in accordance with relevant workplace and safety requirements. |
2 Explore jewellery making techniques to plan work. | 2.1 Assess the capabilities of techniques, tools, equipment and materials for different types of jewellery. 2.2 Use and/or combine different techniques, tools, equipment and materials to determine and extend capabilities. 2.3 Determine the conceptual vision for the proposed jewellery based on exploration of different techniques or from supplied information. 2.4 Establish criteria for the selection of techniques to meet the conceptual vision. 2.5 Select techniques based on the conceptual vision. 2.6 Plan work, identifying work processes and resource requirements. |
3 Realise jewellery. | 3.1 Organise the resources required for the production of the proposed jewellery based on the plan of work. 3.2 Safely use and adapt techniques, tools, equipment and materials appropriately to realise the conceptual vision. 3.3 Identify potential different approaches that may enhance the final work and incorporate these into the work process. |
Required Skills
Required skills: literacy skills sufficient to read product safety labels numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities, and costs. |
Required knowledge: the physical properties and capabilities of the range of materials, tools and equipment used in jewellery work work space requirements for jewellery work, including ways of organising and maintaining space ways of exploring, adapting and combining techniques and materials to achieve different effects in jewellery work general knowledge of the formal elements and principles of design and their specific application to the production of jewellery cleaning and maintenance techniques for tools and equipment used in jewellery work general knowledge of the historical and theoretical contexts for jewellery |
awareness of copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues environmental issues associated with the tools and materials used in jewellery work organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation to jewellery work. |
Evidence Required
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: production of jewellery which demonstrates a command of selected techniques and which is consistent with the conceptual vision knowledge of materials and tools and how they are used and extended in jewellery work. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: evaluation of visual language and technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate practical demonstration of skills using required tools, equipment and materials to produce multiple pieces of jewellery or a single major work. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: direct observation of jewellery work in progress questioning and discussion of the candidate's intentions verbal and written reports |
review of portfolios of evidence third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling). | |
Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to produce jewellery. |
Range Statement
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Tools and equipment may include: | brushes centre punch clamps dapping blocks and punches dividers drills embossing tools engravers (power and hand tools) files guillotine hammers, including silver smithing jewellery bench mallets (wood, plastic, rubber) mandrels measuring tools modelling tools piercing saw and blades pliers power tools protective clothing sanders scissors snips soldering and welding equipment tongs tweezers. |
Materials may include: | fabricated objects, plastic and metal objects, fabrics, das, firm, papier-mâché found objects gem stones metals, e.g. silver, copper, brass, pewter, guilding metals natural objects, shells, wood, clay seeds, feathers, twigs vines, bones, palm fronds synthetic materials, e.g. plastics, acrylic. |
Jewellery may include: | objects, e.g. containers, sculptural forms wearable pieces, e.g. earrings, neck and head pieces, brooches, rings, anklets. |
Workplace procedures may relate to such things as: | cost control process-specific procedures recycling reporting safety use of materials. |
Safety requirements would be in accordance with: | Federal, State and Territory legislation, regulations and standards. |
Organisation and maintenance of the work space may relate to: | light process specific requirements ventilation wet and dry areas. |
Assessing the capabilities of the techniques, tools and materials may involve: | producing test pieces or samples systematically testing a range of processes. |
Extending capabilities of techniques refers to: | exploring the potential of techniques and discovering new ways of using techniques. |
The conceptual vision may be determined by: | elements and principles of design the relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical context the subject matter or theme for the jewellery, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns. |
Criteria for the selection of techniques may relate to: | access to materials, tools and equipment for the techniques consistency with the conceptual vision for the proposed jewellery ease of application of the techniques personal affinity with the techniques. |
Within this unit the candidate would generally extend, build upon and combine a range of techniques, which may include: | casting techniques clasps, links and jump-rings colour work drilling and assembling enamelling polishing and finishing techniques pressing and forming surface decoration weaving, threading, knotting, binding. |
