 What is It

Fabric Designs of Southeast Asia

The most common fabric in some Southeast
Asian countries is the batik which is thought
to be derived from the word “ambatik” that
can be translated into “a cloth with little
dots”. The “drop” action refers to the process
of dyeing the fabric by making use of resist
technique: covering areas of cloth with a dye-
resistant substance to prevent them from
absorbing colors. This technique has been
taught for over thousand years.

Indonesia
The culture and art of Indonesia has been shaped by interaction between
local indigenous customs and multiple foreign influences. Indonesian Batik only
recognizes two kinds of traditional batik processes, stamp and write using canting
and wax as the medium.

There are two categories of batik design:

Geometric design Free form design

Modern batik designs depend on the creativity of their designers.

Naturalistic motifs like leaves, flowers, and birds have been utilized to create
elaborate and intricate designs.

Malaysia
In Malaysia, the states of Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang are considered
as the cradle where batik first flourished. The most common motifs of Malaysian
batik are leaves and flowers. Designs that shows animals are rare because Islam
norms forbid animals images as decoration, except the butterfly theme. The
Malaysian batik also is known for its geometrical designs like spirals. The patterns
are larger and simpler. To be able to put more vibrant colors, more brush painting
is applied.

There are two main types of batik that are produced there:

Hand painted – the artist uses the canting,

a small copper container with one or more
different-sized pipes.

Block printed – 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 to make a pattern.

Thailand

Did you know that Thai silk is produced from the cocoons of Thai
silkworms? Weavers raise the caterpillars on a steady diet of mulberry leaves.
Presently, Thai silk making is considered to be one of the finest arts in the world.
Thai silk also known as ikat fabric has a traditional geometric and zoomorphic
motif.

Cambodia

Silk weaving in Cambodia dates to

as early as the late 13th century where
women only weave cotton from Kapok, a
tropical tree, since none of the locals
produces silk. In recent years, people
from Siam have come to live in
Cambodia, and unlike the locals they
engage in silk production.

Cambodian weaving has two main types:

Ikat technique – quite complex;

it produces patterned fabric which is
diverse and vary by region. To create
patterns, weavers tie-dye portions of weft
yarn before weaving begins.

 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.

Cotton textiles also became part of Cambodian culture. Rural women often

Southeast Asian Arts and Crafts

Indonesia
The Wayang Kulit is a traditional theatre form that brings together the
playfulness of a puppet show, and the elusive quality and charming simplicity of a
shadow play. Its origin remains a mystery, though it appears to have a strong
Javanese and Hindu influence. Today, it is spread out, in various forms and guises,
across Asia - from Turkey and China to Indonesia and of course, Malaysia. The
puppets come in all sizes, ranging from 25 cm to 75 cm. The puppets are usually
made out of buffalo and goat hide and mounted on bamboo sticks.

 Shadow puppetry is famous in Indonesia. Wayang, in modern Indonesian
language means “show” o “perform”. “Kulit”
means “skin”, a reference to the leather
material that the figures are carved out of.
Others say that wayang is also attributed
to the Indonesian word bayang which
means “shadow”.

Malaysia
Wau kite is uniquely designed
Malaysian kite. Its wings are similar to an
Arabic letter. This kite-making tradition
comes naturally to Malaysian people,
especially in the eastern states of the Malaysian Peninsula.
Farmers used kites as scarecrows in the fields and as a
means to lull their children to sleep, so they could work
with little interruption. Now, kite flying has become a
popular sport not just in Malaysia but also
internationally. Malaysia has been celebrating kite
festivals annually like the Pasir Gudang International

Thailand
Krathong is traditionally a small
floating container decorated with elaborately-
folded banana leaves, flowers, three incense
sticks, and a candle. On the night of the full
moon, Thais launch their krathong on a
river, canal, or a pond, making a wish.
Loi/Loy Krathong is a festival celebrated annually throughout the Kingdom of
Thailand and in nearby countries with significant Thai cultures and takes place on
the evening of the full moon of the 12th
month in the traditional Thai lunar

calendar usually in November. “Loi/Loy”
Arts 8 Central Office LM means “to float” while “krathong” is a
floating container.

15
 Khom Loi is a flying lantern that is made of a thin fabric such as rice paper,
stretched over a bamboo or wire frame, to which a
candle or fuel cell is attached. When the fuel cell is lit,
the resulting hot air is trapped inside the lantern and
creates enough lift for the Khom Loi to float into the
sky. Yi Peng/Yee Peng is a lantern festival of Thailand
celebrated on the full moon of the 12th lunar month
every year, which normally means mid-way through

Laos

In this country, they make

paper by hand in the wider region for
over 700 years using the bark of the
local Sa or mulberry tree. The bark is
crushed and soaked in water until it dissolves into a paste. The liquid is then
scooped out, poured through a bamboo sieve and finally placed in a thin layer on
a bamboo bed and dried in the sun. Sa paper was used for calligraphy and for
making festive temple decorations, umbrellas, fans and kites.
