Community Designer Development of Mudmee Motifs

Abstract

Design was learning the process of art composition and design thinking. But weaving was like a knowledge transfer through the creative process of wisdom.  Craftsmen , although having wisdom in producing handwoven Mudmee fabrics, had still lacked knowledge of motif design, so they had to create a course to practice the process of community designing Mudmee motifs to be easy to understand and practical in a limited time. That is the technique of designing Mudmee motifs from primary motifs. The results of the test of using the course in a weaving group of 30 people in Saitaku sub-district. Ban Kruat District, Buriram Province found that 100% were able to design Mudmee motifs by themselves. And the course was extended to a weaving group of 80 people in Wang Nuea Subdistrict, Ban Dan District, Krasang Subdistrict, Mueang District and Ban Khu Subdistrict, Na Pho District, Buriram Province, found that 100% of them were able to design Mudmee motifs by themselves. Achieved designs for the production of not less than 5 Mudmee fabrics per sub-district.
