THE IMPROVEMENT OF ENDEK WEAVING PATTERN DESIGN WITH DIGITAL APPLICATION AT PERTENUNAN ASTITI IN BALI THROUGH A STRUCTURED TRAINING

An improvement and enhancement of Endek weaving pattern design are essential. Particularly with a condition where Endek weaving currently is entering the consumer market. The center weaving place and weavers are expected to produce Endek weaving textiles with creative pat- terns in a shorter period of time compared to previous one. Therefore, digital apps become a solution for the weavers. In addition to that, training is required in order (1) to teach the dig- ital app to the weavers, pattern makers, and young generations who have a passion for Endek weaving textiles, and (2) to educate the users on how to translate the pattern designs into the calculation of the weft threads –the pattern in Endek is created on the weft threads. This train- ing is divided into two sessions, where the first session is reserved for the public and the second session is reserved for the weavers and pattern makers. At the end of the session, the partici- pants are expected to master designing patterns through the digital application. This training is not only focusing on the weavers but also public or young generations in order to preserve the culture in weaving Endek, especially in the design process.
