    Assessment Strategies
    Skill demonstration
    Criteria
    Use the hydraulic press and matrix die forms
    Solder a hollow form/vent opening
    The form enhances the three-dimensional aspect of the piece
    Matrix is durable, correctly shaped to hold the appliqué, and free of defects like cracks or inconsistent thickness
    Appliqué is shaped effectively, ensuring smooth edges and a clean finish
    Appliqué is securely and permanently attached to the matrix
