    MAPEH 8 ARTS

    LESSON 1. FABRIC / FABRIC DESIGN

    The silk is produced from the cocoons of Thai silkworms. It is mainly produced in Khorat which is the
    center of the silk industry in Thailand. Thai weavers from this region raise the caterpillars on a steady diet
    of mulberry leaves.

    Two main types of Cambodian weaving:


    1. Ikat technique (khmer term: chongkiet) - to create patterns, weavers tie and dye portions of weft
    yarn before weaving begins. Patterns are diverse and vary by region; common motifs include
    lattice, stars, and spots.
    2. Uneven twill – it yields single or two-color fabrics, which are produced by weaving three threads
    so that the color of one thread dominates on one side of the fabric, while the two others determine
    the color on the reverse side.
    Krama- the traditional check scarves worn almost universally by Cambodian, are made of cotton.
    Sihn- the Lao women’s ankle-long skirt whose form is undeniable but whose patterns are unique to each
    skirt.
    Though the skirt looks simple and elegant, it is traditional that every woman in Laos weaves all the sihns
    she would wear throughout her lifetime. She uses folk icons to express personal views. This is often
    accomplished by symbolist totems from the inanimate or animate world – crabs for resourcefulness,
    snakes for fertility, butterflies for beauty, birds for success, and so on.
    Ha Dong- the center of weaving and sericulture (silk worm production) for centuries.
    Some popular Vietnamese fabric ranges are:
    1. Shantung taffeta
    2. Bengaline weave
    3. Ebony satin- an all-natural lustrous silk hand-woven in Southern Vietnam and naturally dyed
    using ebony fruit pods. The fabric dates back over a century, but was only recently revitalized by
    the designer Vo Viet Chung.
    Batik- the most common fabric to both centuries.
    The term “batik” is an Indonesian-Malay word, believed to be related to the Malay word titik, which
    means “point”, “dot”, or “drop”.
    “drop”- action refers to the process of dyeing the fabric by making use of a resist technique: covering
    areas of cloth with a dye-resistant substance (usually hot wax) to prevent them from absorbing colors.
    This technique has been taught for over a thousand years.
    There are two categories of batik designs:
    1. Geometric motifs
    2. Free forms designs
    In Malaysia, the states of Kelantan and Terengganu are considered the cradle where batik first flourished,
    reaching even Singapore’s shores.
    2 main types of batik that are produced:
    1. Hand painted- the artist uses the canting, a small copper container with one or more different-size
    pipes.
    2. Block painted- is done by welding together strips of metal to form a metal block. The metal block
    is then dipped into molten wax and pressed against the fabric in order to make a pattern.
    Leaves and flowers in Malaysian batiks are incorporated to avoid the interpretation of human and animal
    images as idolatry, in accordance with local Islamic doctrine. This makes their batik look similar to that
    of Indonesia.
