 TIE DYE

Tie-dye is a modern term invented in the mid-1960s in the United States (but recorded in
writing in an earlier form in 1941 as "tied-and-dyed", and 1909 as "tied and dyed" by
Charles E. Pellew) for a set of ancient resist-dyeing techniques, and for the products of
these processes. The process of tie-dye typically consists of folding, twisting, pleating, or
crumpling fabric or a garment and binding with string or rubber bands, followed by
application of dye(s). The manipulations of the fabric prior to application of dye are called
resists, as they partially or completely prevent the applied dye from coloring the fabric.
More sophisticated tie-dyes involve additional steps, including an initial application of dye
prior to the resist, multiple sequential dye and resist steps, and the use of other types of
resists (stitching, stencils) and discharge.

• EXAMPLE:
The earliest surviving examples of pre-Columbian tie-dye in Peru date from 500 to 810
AD. Their designs include small circles and lines, with bright colors including red, yellow,
blue, and green. Example of Mudmee tie-dye, an art form originating in Thailand.

• Asia:-
Shibori includes a form of tie-dye that originated in Japan and Indonesia. It
has been practiced there since at least the 8th century.

Shibori includes a number of labor-intensive resist techniques including

stitching elaborate patterns and tightly gathering the stitching before dying,
forming intricate designs for kimonos. Another shibori method is to wrap the
fabric around a core of rope, wood or other material, and bind it tightly with
string or thread.

The areas of the fabric that are against the core or under the binding would
remain undyed. In the 1941 book "Orphans of the Pacific", about Philippines, it
was noted: "There are a few thousand Bagobos, who wear highly decorated
clothing made of hemp fiber, all tied-and-dyed into fancy designs, and who
further ornament themselves with big metal disks. "Plangi and tritik are
Indonesian words, derived from Japanese words, for methods related to tie-
dye, and 'bandhna' a term from India, giving rise to the Bandhani fabrics of
Rajasthan.

Ikat is a method of tie-dyeing the warp or weft before the cloth is woven.
Mudmee tie-dye originates in Thailand and neighboring part of Laos. It uses
different shapes and colors from other types of tie-dye, and the colors are, in
general, more subdued. Another difference is that the base color is black.

• Africa:-

Tie-dye techniques have also been used for centuries[citation needed] in the
Hausa region of West Africa, with renowned indigo dye pits located in and
around Kano, Nigeria. The tie-dyed clothing is then richly embroidered in
traditional patterns. It has been suggested that these African techniques were
the inspiration for the tie-dyed garments identified with hippie fashion.

• Tie-dye in the Western world:-

Tie-dyeing was known in the US by 1909, when Professor Charles E. Pellow of
Columbia University acquired some samples of tie-dyed muslin and subsequently
gave a lecture and live demonstration of the technique.

Although shibori and batik techniques were used occasionally in Western fashion
before the 1960s, modern psychedelic tie-dying did not become a fad until the late
1960s following the example set by rock stars such as Janis Joplin and John Sebastian
(who did his own dyeing).

The 2011 film documentary Magic Trip, which shows amateur film footage taken
during the 1964 cross-country bus journey of countercultural icon Ken Kesey
and his Merry Pranksters, shows the travelers developing a form of tie-dye
by taking LSD beside a pond and pouring enamel-based model airplane
paint into it, before placing a white T-shirt upon the surface of the water.
Although the process is closer to paper marbling, in the accompanying
narrative, the travelers claim credit for inventing tie-dyeing. Tie-dying,

 BATIK

Batik is a technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth, or cloth

made using this technique originated from Indonesia. Batik is made
either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a
canting or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap.

The applied wax resists dyes and therefore allows the artisan to colour
selectively by soaking the cloth in one colour, removing the wax with
boiling water, and repeating if multiple colours are desired.

A tradition of making batik is found in various countries; the batik of

Indonesia, however, may be the best- known.Indonesian batik made in
the island of Java has a long history of acculturation, with diverse
patterns influenced by a variety of cultures, and is the most developed in
terms of pattern, technique, and the quality of workmanship.In October
2009, UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and
Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

 Technique

Firstly, a cloth is washed, soaked and beaten with a large mallet. Patterns
are drawn with pencil and later redrawn using hot wax, usually made
from a mixture of paraffin or beeswax, sometimes mixed with plant
resins, which functions as a dye-resist.
The wax can be applied with a variety of tools. A pen-like instrument
called a canting is the most common. A tjanting is made from a small
copper reservoir with a spout on a wooden handle.
The reservoir holds the resist which flows through the spout, creating
dots and lines as it moves. For larger patterns, a stiff brush may be
used.Alternatively, a copper block stamp called a cap is used to cover
large areas more efficiently.
After the cloth is dry, the resist is removed by boiling or scraping the
cloth.
The areas treated with resist keep their original colour; when the resist is
removed the contrast between the dyed and undyed areas forms the
pattern. This process is repeated as many times as the number of colours
desired.
The most traditional type of batik, called batik tulis (written batik), is
drawn using only the canting. The cloth needs to be drawn on both sides,
and dipped in a dye bath three to four times. The whole process may
take up to a year; it yields considerably finer patterns than stamped
batik.
