A Study of Malaysian Traditional Batik Sarong Application on Ceramic Tableware Products
Özet
Malaysian Batik is a treasure that needs to be preserved and continued especially in traditional batik sarong. The batik sarong has influences from the neighbouring country of Malaysia, which has subsequently developed and become one of the Malay’s cultures and heritage. Malaysia's batik sarong has its own identity in which its motifs are processed and stylized so that it is suitable to be used as a pattern on textiles. However, in the modern era, batik sarong is getting less attention, especially by young people. An effort should be made to ensure that this treasure continues to be appreciated and always relevant to all group of people in accordance with the passage of time. This preservation should also be carried out with a new perspective and be given a fresh idea so that Malaysian batik sarong can be promoted in various ways. Therefore, this study aims to see the suitability of batik sarongs motif applied to ceramic tableware products as a decoration in order to continue this traditional heritage. Based on the findings of the study, it is hoped that more studies of traditional batik sarong motifs will be carried out and applied to other materials besides textiles.
