This thesis looks into hand-drawn batik apparel from four perspectives. First it explores into contemporary hand-drawn batik developments, design and technique and related issues. Second it analyzes the youth perceptions and ideas toward hand-drawn batik specifications, design and influences of fashion and media. Third, it evaluates clothing values of the research sample and its relation with wearing hand-drawn batik apparel. At last it investigates the dress practice of youth in a batik context. This thesis is emphasizing on the ideas of youth about hand-drawn batik as a fashion wear and what influences them to wear batik or not. Lots of efforts have been put in bring batik back to mode; but how often do we see people especially youngsters wear hand-drawn batik apparel? An introductory pilot study was done by researcher to support the significance of this research and showed that the total of 84% agreed that younger generations prefer to wear other garments rather than batik. So, it is necessary to define the reasons that influence the popularity of hand-drawn batik as a dress practice in young generation. This study used mixed methods research which combines quantitative and qualitative approaches. Qualitative phase is an exploratory research and the instrument used in this part was semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions, sampling methodUniversity was non-probability sampling ofpurposive Malaya sampling plus saturation and respondents were expert individuals in the area of batik. Quantitative phase used explanatory survey design method which describes and define trends in the population; dependent variable (DV) in this study is the selection and use of hand-drawn batik clothing which is influenced by independent variables that include hand-drawn batik specifications, aesthetic in design, fashion influences, media influences and clothing values. The instrument used was a Likert scale questionnaire in this phase. The iii questionnaire validity was fully investigated and accepted by consulting with research experts (n=5) and among internal consistency methods the Cronbach's coefficient alpha was chosen to check the reliability of the instrument and the reliability test result was (α = 0.913). Research sample were young individuals aged 19 to 25 from undergraduate students from University of Malaya; both genders, ethnic groups and racial composition were included. The sample size was (n=375) defined by Morgan table for determining sample size from a given population. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) is used in this phase of the research. The findings provided the factors and reasons which shaped the process of development, influenced the popularity of batik dress practice in youngsters and defining the related issues of hand-drawn batik in fashion designing; it is hoped that the outcomes of this study can improve hand-drawn batik apparel in order to satisfy the taste and need of young fashion consumers of today.

For more information on these Experiences, please visit our website at http://www.threadsoflife.com The Textile Arts Experience The Indonesian archipelago was once the crossroads of the world. For over 3500 years, people have come here seeking fragrant spices, and textiles were the central barter objects in this story of trade, conquest and ancient tradition. An exploration of Bali’s textile art traditions grants us access to this story. Spice trade influences juxtapose with indigenous motifs throughout the archipelago: echoes of Indian trade cloths abound; imagery relates to defining aspects of the local environment; history and genealogy entwine. Uses range from traditional dress, to offerings, to the paraphernalia of marriages and funerals. Our gateway to this world is through the island of Bali, where we steep ourselves in the island’s rich traditions while based at the Umajati Retreat near Ubud. Here we will receive insightful introductions to the local culture, and visit several weavers with which Threads of Life is working to help women create high-quality textiles that balance their desires for sustainable incomes and cultural integrity.

  • 1 SUMMARY the Shibori, Batik and Ikat Techniques Are Known As Resist
    SIMBOL ŞI TEHNICĂ ARHAICĂ-RAPEL ÎN CREAłIA CONTEMPORANĂ BITAY ECATERINA 1 SUMMARY The Shibori, Batik and Ikat techniques are known as resist dyeing techniques. „Shibori” is actually an old name of the Tie-dye technique, a widespread expression in the hippie communities of the 60’s – 70’s period, when this technique had a great success also among the fashion designers, making a spectacular comeback, after a long period of sporadic isolation in certain areas of the world, especially in Japan, Africa and South America. The first textiles found by archaeologists are so old that we may say that world history could be read in the nations’ textiles. The rise of the civilizations and the fall of the empires are woven and printed on the scarves and the shrouds of the great conquests main characters. Archaeological diggings revealed signs of these traditions of 5000 years old. Religion, traditions, myths, superstitions and rituals are closely related to the textiles belonging to many nations of Eastern Asia, Asia Minor, and of the Pacific Islands, their aesthetic value being, more than once, secondary. CHAPTER 1 THE SHIBORI TECHNIQUE The origin of the word “Shibori” is the verb “shiboru” which means to wring, to twist, to press. Even if “shibori” refers to a particular group of resist dyeings, the word’s origin suggests the cloth manipulation process and it can comprise modern methods of dyeing which involve the same type of cloth treatment, possibly without pigments or treatment with pigments applied by using totally different methods than the ancient ones. Shibori can be divided in many ways: according to the areas where it is used, such as Japan, China, India, Africa, Indonesia, South America or according to the details usesd in the technique.

  • New Textiles Inspired by Ikat - by Christina Maschke Degree Project Master of Fine Arts in Fashion and Textile Design with Specialization in Textile Design
    THE PATTERNED THREAD - new textiles inspired by ikat - by Christina Maschke Degree Project Master of Fine Arts in Fashion and Textile Design with Specialization in Textile Design Title The patterned thread - new textiles inspired by ikat Author Christina Maschke Supervisor Margareta Zetterbloom Opponent Malene Kristiansen Examiner Hanna Landin Report No. 2016.6.05 The Swedish School of Textiles University of Borås Sweden Abstract The work of this MA thesis develops a new ap- proach to hand weaving in which the design pro- cess is led by the technique of resistant dyeing. The process is inspired by the visual properties of traditional ikats. It follows the technical ikat procedure of primary resistant dyeing and sub- sequently weaving. Whithin the research a new way of weaving is explored in which the dyed thread dictates the weaving process and therefore influences the weaving motif. In addition different design variables such as material, binding pattern and finishing are used to push forward the devel- oped concept. The aim of this work is to explore new aesthetic expressions between regular and irregular motifs through the application of design thinking. The result presents an innovative approach in the ikat technique in order to create random distrib- uted patterns and how they can be already influ- enced in the stage of yarn preparation.

  • New Museum of Indonesian Batik: an Architecture of “Showing Off”
    Journal of Civil Engineering and Architecture 11 (2017) 305-312 doi: 10.17265/1934-7359/2017.03.010 D DAVID PUBLISHING “A” New Museum of Indonesian Batik: An Architecture of “Showing off” Yuke Ardhiati Architecture Department, Universitas Pancasila, Jakarta, 12640, Indonesia Abstract: For the “A” New Museum of Indonesian Batik, Ivan Saputra was the architect winner of the Museum Design Competition in 2013. Preparation for the competition required architectural design guidelines, which were an important part of the terms of reference for the project. This paper aims to provide an overview of the issues surrounding the work involved in the collaboration work between the Indonesian government and multi-disciplinary participants to establish museum design guidelines for this competition. By articulating and elaborating the characteristics of several famous museums design in the world, by defining relevant architectural theories, and by exploring an in-depth analysis of “batik”, which UNESCO designated as Intangible Heritage of Humanity of UNESCO in 2009, the architectural design guidelines were developed based onfindings revealedby inserting “batik” itself as the museum storyline into contemporary architecture. By referring to trans-disciplinary methods and concepts, then the process of batik making is potentially a kind of architectural “showing off” to expose the uniqueness of Indonesian batik as well as the Architecture-Event theory promoted by French philosopher Jacques Derrida. Key words: Architecture-event, architectural guidelines, Indonesian batik, museum storyline, “showing off”. 1. Introduction strict heritage guidelines result in the fact that museums are limited in regard to museum design.

It can influence, be a catalyst for change, or further catapult the journey already started. In the absence of familiar surroundings, it can magnify what captures the eye and the emotions. All is new, exciting, and exhilarating. Both making art and traveling have opened up new experiences and challenged me in unique ways. There is so much to be inspired by—the tatmosphere in the landscape, hues and textures of a traditional market, shrines and temples, and environments of living and creating. I recently returned from my second trip to Indonesia in the last 15 months. As the experiences and inspirations linger in my subconscious, they continue to influence my artwork. My love of textiles was rekindled as a result of these travels. Fabrics abundantly adorn shrines and temples, are used as offerings, typify ceremonial dress, and are displayed as consumer goods. I am inspired not only by the beauty of the fabrics, but also how they function in a society where art, life, and spiritual- ity are all connected. Nowhere is this more evident than in Bali.
