GUIDELINES FOR CONSERVATION OF METHODS FOR MAKING TIE-DYE FABRIC FROM PLANTS TO GIVE NATURAL COLORS IN THE COMMUNITYCASE STUDY OF BAN KHIRIWONG COMMUNITY, VILLAGE NO. 10, KAMLON SUBDISTRICT, LANSAKA DISTRICT NAKHON SI THAMMARAT PROVINCE

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the methods of making natural plant-based tie-dye fabrics in the community and to examine ways to conserve these methods. A case study focuses on Ban Kiriwong Community, Village No. 10, Kamlon Subdistrict, Lanska District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, using qualitative research methods. The results showed that: 1. Methods of making natural plant-based tie-dye fabrics in the community: 1.1 Extraction of natural dyes requires a large wok or stainless steel dyeing pot. For black dye, the bark of a certain tree species is boiled in water (more water than its weight) over low heat overnight. The resulting liquid is then collected in a basin. 1.2 Fabric making process: The fabric is washed, then tied with rubber to create patterns. The fabric is then boiled for 4 hours, turning it every 10 minutes to ensure even dyeing. 1.3 Methods of knowledge transfer regarding natural plant-based tie-dyeing. 1. Community adults collaboratively support the transfer of knowledge about tie-dyeing to those seeking information about the craft. 2. Guidelines for conserving the traditional method of tie-dyeing using natural plant dyes in the community revealed the following: 2.1 Awareness of the value of natural plant dyes leads to appreciation and the ability to utilize resources to their fullest potential.
2.2 Promoting creativity in tie-dye patterns using natural plant dyes supports the practice of tie-dyeing with natural dyes by disseminating knowledge and information to villagers in the community. 2.3 Supporting the continuation of knowledge about natural plant dyes in the community by organizing teaching activities for future generations
