Batik Block: Nut Mechanical Fastener Element. International Journal of Creative Future and Heritage (TENIAT), 12 (2). pp. 17-29. ISSN 2716-6430 (2024)
Abstract
Batik is a symbol of Malay culture, with each pattern on batik fabric showcasing its own uniqueness and distinctiveness. In Malaysia, various types of batik are produced, including block batik, canting batik, and screen batik. This study aims to explore the use of mechanical fastener elements, specifically nuts, in the block batik manufacturing process as an alternative to traditional materials. The material element is crucial as it determines the quality, characteristics, and functionality of the final product. An innovative approach is employed in the context of block making by emphasizing the potential and effectiveness of the material compared to conventional materials. Experimental methods were used to create several batik blocks by arranging and combining mechanical fastener nuts. The process is easier, faster, and more systematic, capable of achieving the desired aesthetic value in batik block designs. The analysis involved direct observation of the block batik manufacturing process and the use of experimental approaches. This allowed for a deep understanding of the challenges and advantages of the approach used. It is hoped that the results of this study can inspire designers to incorporate new materials in the batik-making process, preserving the sustainability of traditional art while enriching creativity in the batik industry.
