The Study on Artisan Craft Development Plan for Rural Industrialization in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY (JICA) MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT, SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM (MARD) THE STUDY ON ARTISAN CRAFT DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR RURAL INDUSTRIALIZATION IN THE SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM Final Report VOLUME 1 MASTER PLAN STUDY February 2004 ALMEC CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CENTER OF JAPAN EXCHANGE RATE USED US$ 1 = VND 15,200 PREFACE In response to the request from the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the Government of Japan decided to conduct “The Study on Artisan Craft Development for Rural Industrialization in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam” and entrusted the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA dispatched a study team headed by Dr. IWATA, Shizuo of ALMEC Corporation, 8 times during the period from February 2002 to January 2004. The study team conducted the study with the Vietnamese counterpart team and held a series of discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Vietnam. After the team returned to Japan, further studies were made and then the report was finally completed. I hope that this report will contribute to the economical growth and poverty reduction in rural areas through promotion and development of the craft sector in Vietnam. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of Vietnam for their close cooperation extended to the study team.

  • Razzle-Dazzle: the Language of Ornament in Asian Costume and Textiles, June 16, 2006-October 15, 2006
    Razzle-Dazzle: The Language of Ornament in Asian Costume and Textiles, June 16, 2006-October 15, 2006 Shells, mirrors, beads, seeds, metal disks, coins, sequins, feathers; these are only some of the items that have been used to make clothing and textiles jingle, sparkle, and jiggle. Throughout time, all over the world, in every society, humans have embellished their clothing in ways that signal status and religion or serve as talismanic, flirtatious, or protective charms. These days, many Westerners have lost touch with the symbolic power of ornament applied to apparel, dismissing such adornment as superficial, artificial, and even disingenuous. The group of objects in this exhibition spanning the Asian world reminds viewers of the pleasure and meaning that such materials may convey. The English word "ornament" derives from the Latin ornare, meaning "to equip, get ready, or fit out." Some have pushed this definition one step further, suggesting that the term also expresses completion. Although not a structural necessity, ornament makes an object whole. How differently might we look upon certain articles in this gallery if they did not include gold for its inherent wealth and homage to hierarchy, purity, and indestructibility; silver, metal, and sequins for their associations with prosperity and protection; mirrors for their power to ward off malevolence; beads and seeds for their correlations with fortune, resiliency, and fertility; and feathers for their regal connotations? Lacking such accoutrements, these textiles would take on another function, causing the wearer to behave in another fashion and the beholders to interpret the behavior in other ways. The thread of meaning would dissolve.

  • Co-Design with Textile Artisans from Guatemala and Peru
    DISSERTATION CONSUMER PRODUCT PREFERENCES OF CULTURAL TEXTILE PRODUCTS: CO-DESIGN WITH TEXTILE ARTISANS FROM GUATEMALA AND PERU Submitted by Carol Engel-Enright School of Education In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2016 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Carole Makela Co-Advisor: Gene Gloeckner Nancy Miller Thomas Dean Copyright by Carol Engel-Enright 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT CONSUMER PRODUCT PREFERENCES OF CULTURAL TEXTILE PRODUCTS: CO-DESIGN WITH TEXTILE ARTISANS FROM GUATEMALA AND PERU This study involved practice-based research with cultural textile weaving groups in Guatemala and Peru. Artisan textiles were co-designed with contemporary color palettes and layouts for backstrap weaving and patterns for hand embroidery. Sustainability-oriented innovation (SOI) provided a framework to explore implementation of co-design in the production of handcrafted cultural textile products. Fashion trends including color forecasts and product preferences may allow for incremental innovation in the product development process that will result in increased sales and income for artisans (Klewitz & Hansen, 2014). Innovation for sustainability allows relative improvements in process, product, and organizational innovations by creating more sustainable production methods. SOI has been found to be successful in the marketplace in niches or even mass markets (Schaltegger & Wagner, 2011). Co-design was integrated into the textile design process through sharing pictures and technical diagrams working with cultural weaving organizations. Co-design is a process of collaborative design thinking involving joint inquiry and imagination in which diverse people explore and define a problem and collaboratively develop and evaluate solutions (Steen, 2013). Co-designed textiles were constructed into modern silhouettes for apparel, accessories, and home décor products.

  • Traditional Hand Embroidery and Simple Hand-Woven Structures for Garment Manufacturing Used in Small Scale Industry
    ISSN: 2277-9655 [Kaur * et al., 7(6): June, 2018] Impact Factor: 5.164 IC™ Value: 3.00 CODEN: IJESS7 IJESRT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES & RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY TRADITIONAL HAND EMBROIDERY AND SIMPLE HAND-WOVEN STRUCTURES FOR GARMENT MANUFACTURING USED IN SMALL SCALE INDUSTRY Rajinder Kaur*1 & Jashanjeet Kaur2 *1Dev Samaj College for Women, (Ferozpur- Punjab) India, researches 2DBFGOI, (Moga- Punjab) India DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.1297392 ABSTRACT This study explores a field of textile craft, which incorporates the techniques of traditional hand embroidery design and a simple hand woven structure into construction processes of garment production to enhance the fortunes of the local fashion industry. The project was designed to have traditional and cultural significance, so as to provide a new dimension to local garment decorating processes. The results of the study revealed a wide possibility of creating and fashioning various simple hand woven structures of traditional significance into the production of garments. This provides innovative ways of actualizing new creative ideas for the progress of the local industry. The experiment revealed that with careful blending of yarns of various types, colos and sizes, very attractive and significant results can be achieved making it appropriate for use in garment decoration. The basic challenges encountered involved the variations in yarn sizes used, the long floats associated with some weave and embroidery styles and the limitations associated with the weave frame used for the project. Keywords: Hand Embroidery, Weaving, Garments. I. INTRODUCTION Embroidery was an important art in the Medieval Islamic world. The 17th-century Turkish traveler Evliya Celebi called it the "craft of the two hands".

  • 6. Current State of Vietnam's Craft Sector, Its Issues & Direction
    The Study on Artisan Craft Development Plan for Rural Industrialization in Vietnam Final Report vol.1 Part I Master Plan Study 6. CURRENT STATE OF VIETNAM’S CRAFT SECTOR, ITS ISSUES & DIRECTION 6.1 Overview The Vietnamese craft sector is rapidly changing. Among Asian craft products, Vietnamese craft items are reputed for their affordable price tags as well as their unique and distinct designs, the main features that fuel their growing popularity in overseas markets. Export products, mainly made by private enterprises as well as young entrepreneurs, are making significant market headways. However, the traditional Vietnamese craft worker has yet to reap the benefits of a rising market and enjoy the rewards of his toil. Many workers still consider craft making as sideline work especially during off-farm seasons, and earnings from it remain generally low. Likewise, the infusion of non-traditional or modern production techniques and the corresponding rise in production volumes have spawned serious concerns such as the dissipation of traditional values and environmental degradation. Although craft items were once common in the country’s past, their usefulness and function are slowly being replaced by cheaper commercial goods and items, which contributes to the rising concern on the preservation of cultural values. These concerns and issues form the thesis that underlie the central government’s initiative to utilize the craft sector as a tool for countryside development and a vehicle to pump prime economic activity in the rural areas and help alleviate rural poverty. Thus, a comprehensive analysis of the development of the Vietnamese craft sector and the multifaceted impacts such development will entail is imperative in order to achieve the Government’s ultimate goal of rural progress.

  • The Craft of Thought. Meditation, Rhetoric, an the Making of Images, 400-1200
    The Craft of Thought. Meditation, Rhetoric, an the Making of Images, 400-1200. Introduction Orthopraxis is a category developed for the comparative study of religions, specifically Christianity and Buddhism' Orthodox believers seek, in the words of Paul Gchl, to reproduce the experience of learning from the teacher, whose teaching lives on in authentic texts, verbal traditions or creeds. An orthopractical adept, by contrast, seeks to achieve an inmanent experience of the divine equivalent to that of the founder. Usually by following a devotional practice presumed to be similar. Orthodoxy explicates canonical texts, whereas orthopraxis emphasizes a set of experiences and techniques, conceived as a 'way " to be followgz leading one to relive the founder‟s path to enliglitenment. Because it seelts an experience, an orthopraxis can never be completely articulate; instead of normative dogma, it relies upon patterns of oral formulae and ritualized behavior to prepare for an experience of God, should one be granted. Like chance, grace also favors a prepared mind. Orthopraxis and orthodoxy often co-exist in the same religion. Christianity, though a religion primarily of orthodoxy, has always had groups within it who have created for themselves an orthopraxis. Monasticism is one such practice.: It began as a movement of pious laypeople, not clergy (monks were not ordinarily priests until late in the Middle Ages, and nuns never) and as a particular way of living to be adopted only as an adult, often after one‟s dynastic obligations to marry and have children were fulfilled. Yet orthopraxis is a concept not unique to religion. Any craft develops an ortho raxis, a craft “knowledge' which is learned, and indeed can only be learned by the painstaking practical imitation and complete familiarization of exemplary masters' techniques and experiences.

  • Asian Fusion Exhibition Program
    Asian Fusion EGA Exhibition 2020 An Exhibit of Asian-Inspired Needlework March 6 – September 10 Presented by Embroiderers’ Guild of America 1205 E. Washington Street, Ste. 104 Louisville, KY 40206 502-589-6956 ABOUT ASIAN FUSION In 2019, Pat Fair contacted EGA Headquarters to inquire if EGA would be interested in a donation of articles designed and embroidered by Eleanor “Lea” Stark (1933-2014). These articles were being offered to EGA from Lea’s daughters, Leslie Seymour and Kimball Loomis. Lea, a prolific embroidery artist, is best known for the twenty years of work during which she created unique and impressive Asian-inspired embroideries that would often take hundreds of hours of work to complete. Lea worked almost exclusively in silk, both flat Chinese silk and plyed silk threads on silk dupioni and silk noil. Works often included goldwork in a variety of metals. In her later designs, she incorporated over-dyed cotton and novelty threads, beads, and other types of fabrics and trims. EGA is honored to have received 26 pieces of Lea’s art. It was her Asian pieces that inspired EGA to organize this Asian exhibition for 2020. Those of us who were involved with bringing this exhibition also want to thank the many individuals who are lending their prized Asian treasures to make this exhibition a success. There are sixteen individuals who are sharing their art and more than ninety embroidered pieces on display (including pieces from the EGA Permanent Collection) representing Asian art from ten countries. A special thanks to the lenders, the EGA staff and the other individuals who volunteered to help with ASIAN FUSION—EGA Exhibition 2020.
