Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to use manipulation techniques to create a variety of different effects using fabrics, fibres and other materials for 2D and 3D design effects.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify manipulation techniques
  • 1.1 Types ofmanipulation are identified.
  • 1.2 Effects of manipulation on different materials are described.
  • 1.3 Processes used to achieve different manipulations are described.
2 Describe uses of manipulation in design process
  • 2.1 Uses of manipulation to inform and inspire design are described.
  • 2.2 Role of manipulation as a production tool is described.
  • 2.3 Effect of manipulation on the design is described.
  • 2.4 Tools and equipment to be used are prepared.
3 Manipulate textiles to produce work sample
  • 3.1 Manipulation techniques are applied to a variety of textiles and textile products.
  • 3.2 Process is analysed to assess outcome.
  • 3.3 Manipulation is modified as required.
  • 3.4 Work sample of manipulated textile is produced.
  • 3.5 OHS practices and procedures are implemented in manipulation of fabrics.
  • 3.6 Techniques used to manipulate textiles and their effects are documented for future reference.
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. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Legislative/regulatory requirements
All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.
Types of manipulation may include
crushing
heat application
tucking
pleating
shrinking
dyeing
off loom weaving
painted and printed warps
tie dye techniques
felt making
paper making

OHS practices
OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit and may include:
manual handling techniques
standard operating procedures
personal protective equipment
safe materials handling
taking of rest breaks
ergonomic arrangement of workplaces
following marked walkways
safe storage of equipment
housekeeping
reporting accidents and incidents
other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
identify textile fibres, fabrics and other materials
determine effects of manipulating textiles
apply techniques to achieve manipulation effects
apply OHS practices in work operations

Consistency in performance
Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
organising work
completing tasks
identifying improvements
using workplace practices
using OHS practices
recording and reporting accidents and incidents
assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes
recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions
completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

Resource implications
Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment
This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.
