Produce chased products using advanced techniques

This standard covers the skills to produce small and large scale chased products which includes the use of advanced techniques such as repousse, reverse relief work and complex flat chasing. 

You will work with heat treatments and punch forming techniques as well as designing your own advanced chased products.  In producing chased products, you will work to instructions and use a variety of specialist techniques. You will take personal responsibility for your own actions and for the quality and accuracy of the work carried out.
