This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to create moulds and casts for a range of artistic and other purposes.

It applies to individuals who work independently in industrial and creative contexts and use well-developed technical skills for the chosen methods of casting or moulding. Individuals typically work as ceramic artists, glass artists, sculptors or prop makers, but the unit is relevant to others working with the design and production of any three-dimensional object.

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