This professionally designed mini unit is ideal for students who enjoy creative, hands-on learning and are ready to move beyond simple craft activities into purposeful design and production. Instead of repetitive prompts, students develop a cohesive handmade product collection while building real-world skills across Visual Arts, Design Technologies and small business thinking.
Throughout the unit, students work with materials such as polymer clay, resin, beads and jewellery findings to plan, create and refine a series of products. The learning experience is intentionally varied, guiding students through design planning, practical making, problem-solving, branding, photography, pricing and final presentation. Each stage builds on the last, resulting in a polished body of work that reflects both creativity and thoughtful design decisions.
Suitable for upper primary to early high school learners, the unit can be easily adjusted to suit different ability levels, with writing, pricing and reflection tasks scaled as needed. Students produce strong, portfolio-ready evidence including mood boards, design sketches, process documentation, finished products, packaging concepts, promotional content and a final artist-maker statement.
Blending creativity with real-world application, this unit is perfect for learners interested in art, design, hands-on projects and introductory business concepts—offering a meaningful and engaging pathway from idea to finished product.
