Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to apply patterns and/or designs to glass with vitreous paints to achieve specific outcomes through the firing of glass.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify painting and firing requirements
- 1.1 Applicable occupational health and safety (OHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to leadlight and stained glass operations are verified and complied with
- 1.2 Types and quantities of patterns, designs and materials required are identified from plans or work instructions
- 1.3 The processes for painting patterns and designs onto glass and achieving specific outcomes through the firing of glass are identified
2 Prepare to paint and fire glass
- 2.1 Painting sequence is determined in a logical order to suit the job
- 2.2 Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure they are appropriate for painting and firing, serviceable and in a safe condition
- 2.3 Patterns and design templates are checked against specifications or job order
- 2.4 Paint colours are matched against the plan or work order and glass prepared for painting
3 Apply vitreous paint
- 3.1 Paint is applied to the glass surface in accordance with the pattern or design template
- 3.2 Any problems occurring during the painting operation are identified and rectified
4 Conduct firing operations
- 4.1 Firing sequence is determined in a logical order to suit the job
- 4.2 Kiln is checked prior to use to ensure it is appropriate for the firing, serviceable and in a safe condition
- 4.3 Kiln components and controls, including emergency stops and guards, are identified and checked for correct operation
- 4.4 Glass is prepared for firing and kiln equipment is operated, adjusted and monitored to ensure correct product quality and output
- 4.5 Any problems occurring during the firing operation are identified and rectified
5 Finalise the installation
- 5.1 Painted and fired glass is inspected for quality of work and repaired or discarded, as required
- 5.2 Waste and scrap material is removed for disposal or recycling, as required
- 5.3 Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of, as appropriate
- 5.4 Tools, equipment and unused materials are cleaned and removed and stored appropriately
- 5.5 Workplace records are maintained

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.
Overview of assessment
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:
read and interpret work/job specifications
identify a range of glass suitable for painting and firing, detailing their uses and limitations
identify and explain the properties and limitations of vitreous paints
identify and explain the properties and limitations of glass when heat is applied
identify the likely impact of various environmental effects on painted and fired glass
paint glass using freehand and template processes
fire glass to achieve required outcomes
comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for the painting of glass with vitreous paints and firing glass to meet specified outcomes
communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area.
Context of, and specific resources for assessment
The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace.
Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context.
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standard requirements.
The following resources should be made available:
workplace location or simulated workplace
materials and equipment relevant to painting glass with vitreous paints
specifications and work instructions.
Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the LMF02 Furnishing Industry Training Package.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge.
Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.
Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.
