Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to perform tapestry techniques to produce tapestry design samples.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Interpret production requirements
  • 1.1 Design specifications and cartoon image are analysed and discussed with appropriate personnel to confirm production requirements
  • 1.2 Desired effects of tapestry techniques are identified and appropriate processes selected to achieve required outcome
  • 1.3 Yarns, quantities, tapestry looms and equipment are selected according to design requirements
2 Produce woven tapestry design sample
  • 2.1 Workstation and tools and equipment are set up according to specifications for work
  • 2.2 Yarns are checked against quality standards
  • 2.3 Tapestry techniques are undertaken to meet design specifications for sample and according to OHS practices
  • 2.4 Tapestry techniques and outcomes are monitored throughout to identify production faults
3 Check quality of sample
  • 3.1 Completed sample is checked against design specifications to ensure quality standards are met
  • 3.2 Tapestry faults and production problems are identified and causes determined
  • 3.3 Tapestry process, technique, and materials used are analysed to determine necessary modifications to tapestry techniques, processes or specifications
4 Complete production process
  • 4.1 Tapestry faults and production problems are rectified or sample is reproduced according to modifications
  • 4.2 Tapestry sample is finished according to design specifications
  • 4.3 Outcomes are examined with appropriate personnel and possible modifications to design are discussed and documented
  • 4.4 Required documentation is completed
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.

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:
analyse design specifications and interpret production requirements
produce tapestry sample according to design specifications
make minor adjustments to equipment
identify and address faults
monitor own work and conduct quality check of sample outcome

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.
