Ikat Weaving
Ikat weaving is a traditional textile art that involves dyeing threads before they are woven into fabric. The process begins with tying sections of the threads to create patterns, which are then dyed in various colors. Once the dyeing is complete, the threads are woven together on a loom to produce intricate designs.
This technique is practiced in many cultures around the world, including Indonesia, India, and Central Asia. Each region has its unique styles and patterns, often reflecting local traditions and cultural significance. The resulting fabrics are used for clothing, home decor, and ceremonial purposes.
