This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to make and apply a range of glazes to create different aesthetic effects for ceramic items. It requires the ability to make and test different types of glazes and to develop personal glaze recipes. It involves research to develop designs and refinement of glazing recipes and techniques through experimentation and dedicated practice.

The unit applies to visual artists who are highly skilled in the specific techniques for glazed ceramic work and who realise a coherent body of creative work. They work with a high level of independence seeking mentoring and guidance as required.

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