Description: |
|
Watublapi is a small community in the Sikka district well known
for its fine traditional ikat weaving. Whereas many other local
weaving communities switched to industrially spun yarn and
chemical dyes for the sake of saving time and money, the weavers
of Watublapi still use the traditional, handspun yarn made out
of local cotton, as well as local natural dyes. In the 1980s,
the villagers – along with the assistance of the German priest,
Pater Bollen – established a cultural cooperative called Sanggar
Bliran Sina with the goal of preserving and promoting local
dance, music, ikat weaving, and other handicrafts. |
