What`s on here
This guidebook contains guidelines and explanations regarding the process of silkworms into silk cloth, what is ATBM (traditional loom) ATBM process, the process of marking Batik. With this, we hope that readers can understand more deeply about the culture of Batik from Indonesia.
HOW TO MAKE BATIK TULIS ?
This is how they create
Prepare a cloth
Mori cloth is a white woven colth made of catton which is often used as batik material. to get maximum results, mori cloth needs to be boiled (whashed), starched, and ironed.
Nyungging
The earliest process in making written batik is making a pattern first. Nyungging is the stage of drawing batik patterns on cloth which is done by pattern specialists. Patterns can be made directly on cloth or can also be mode on paper first.
Njiplak
The process of Njiplak in making written batik is transfer the pettern from the paper onto the white cloht to be made of batik. This process is to redraw or transfer the image of the batik motif onto the cloth, if the pattern making process is directly on the cloth, then you don`t need to follow the Njiplak process.
Nglowong
Nglowong is the process of putting wax on cloth whit a canting according to the line of the batik pattern/ motif that was previously drawn, This process takes a long time, up to 2-3 months if the motifs are complicated enough.
Ngiseni
The process of adding filling motifs or in javanese is called isen-isen to the motifs that have been placed on the wax.
Nyolet
Give color to cartain with a brush. This process is done to give the impression of a more lively and attractive image.
Mopok
The process of closing certain parts that are dabbed with wax. the function of the Mopok process is to cover certain parts that don`t want to be mixed or stained with color and will still look plain.
Nembok
The process of covering the base of the cloth that does`n need to be colored, by using wax. This process is dont so that later when coloring, certain parts do not need to be colored and are not stained.
Ngelir
The process of dyeing fabrics as a whole, using natural dyes and aynthetic dyes. It should be noted that the use of natural dyes for batik cloth must be dyed repeatedly so that the coloring results are maximized and this process takes days because the dyes used are slow to seep in to the fabric.
Nglorod
merupakan tahap akhir meluruhkan dan melarutkan pada kain dengan cara merendam kain pada air panas atau mendidih. proses ini di lakukan 2 kali dalam pembuatan batik.
From Silkworms
to Silk Fabrics
Here is the process of processing silkworms.
What is Silk Fabrices ??
Silk is a type of fabric that is in great demand because of its strong, soft and shiny structure. Silk is an expensive fabric, not only because of its quality but also because the raw material is thread made from the cocoons of silkworms.
First, Egg.
The first stage of silk thread production is the laying of white and brown-patterned silk moth (Bombyx mori) eggs. Reporting from Sciencing, silk moths do not eat or drink at the end of their life cycle but will mate, lay eggs, and die. Female moths will lay large numbers of eggs, which are around 200 to 400 eggs. The female moth will lay and glue her eggs on the mulberry leaves. The moth eggs are then incubated for up to 12 days until they hatch.
Larva.
The newly hatched larvae were then carefully transferred from the incubation room to the rearing room. At the time the silkworm larvae were only 4 millimeters long, they would continue to be fed on mulberry leaves. Their bodies continue to grow, causing their skin to peel off and be replaced by new skin. This molting process can occur up to four times until the larva grows into a silk snake about 8 cm in size.
Cocoon.
After eating enough, the caterpillar will then form a cocoon or pupa by rotating its body. Silk cocoons then form as white capsules. The silk cocoons are then harvested before the silkworm turns into a moth and bursts its cocoons. Harvesting is done in about one week and an hour after the cocoons are made.
Last One, Thread Making.
The silk cocoons are then soaked and boiled in hot water. After being boiled, the cocoons will be searched for the ends of the fibers and begin to be decomposed. After being unraveled, the fiber is then spun by twisting it into a single strand of silk thread. The thread is then wound like ordinary thread and also woven into beautiful silk cloth.
BATIK TULIS
High-Price Batik
Batik Tulis is wrtitten batik that one of the results of the batik production process with the technical making of the motifs done manually by the batik maker. The process of making written batik requires a high level of technique, accuracy, patience and perseverance. This is due to the traditional and manual workmanship techniques that use.
the skills of the batik makers without the use of machine tools. The process of making written batik is longer and more complicated than other batik processing techniques, making written batik can take up to 2 -3 months compared to the process of making stamped batik and printing batik. This is the reason why batik has high value.
ATBM EXPLANATION
TRADITIONAL LOOM
Alat Tenun Bukan Mesin (ATBM) or Non-machine Looms are tools for weaving that are driven by humans. ATBM can be used while sitting (usually in small and traditional textile industries) or standing. In the large textile industry, it is impossible to use ATBM. ATBM can speed up and simplify the production of woven fabrics which previously only used traditional looms or we called as “Alat Tenun Gedokan”.
ATBM PROCESS
Menghani.
Menghani is the initial stage in the weaving process, namely the process of making strands of thread to be warped on a tool called the hani tool.
The last one, start weaving.
Start with weaving as an aid only, until the arrangement of the warp threads is even. When weaving, try to keep the mounds the same distance, so that the width of the weave can be aligned to the right and left. The thread connection should advance from the edge of the weave by about 2-3 cm. Compacting the weave with the comb must also be the same, if you beat it 2 times, you should also beat it all 2 times, so that the density of the weave is also even. Then weave according to the motif and size of the product to be made. If the mouth of the warp thread is narrow, roll the woven product and weave until it reaches the desired size.
Installing the function threads.
Putting warp threads on a loom is installing strands of thread that will be used as warp threads on non-machine looms on warp thread bums.
Thread the eye on the loom.
Bending is the process of inserting warp threads into the eye of the gun according to the weaving pattern starting from the left to the center or vice versa according to the color scheme to be made.
Insert the warp threads according to the pattern on the woven comb.
Culking is the process of inserting the warp threads into the comb according to the weaving pattern by inserting the warp threads one by one into the COMB, starting from the middle to the right or the middle to the left or vice versa.
Tying the threads of the function on the bum of the cloth.
Tying the warp threads on the bum of the fabric is done after the warp threads are scooped through the eye of the gun and the comb by rotating the BUM of the cloth until all the ropes are unraveled and then tie the warp threads on the stretch of wood that is in the BUM of the fabric and do it until all the warp threads are tied.
