Design Intervention in Jamdani Motif Development

Abstract

One of the best textile uses for sustainability is Jamdani weaving, which uses a chemical-free surface design approach as opposed to environmentally friendly surface finishes. Traditional Jamdani weavers employ fibres and vegetable colours that are produced locally. Additionally, there is little pollution as a result of the weavers' use of handlooms. Jamdani weaving is totally done by hand. This traditional weaving method, known as Jamdani, was recognised by UNESCO as a component of Bangladesh's Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013. It is popular because of its transparency, gorgeous colour palette, and eye catching geometric and organic design. Handloom weaving is a significant and growing industry in several Bengali districts. The excellent designs of handloom fabrics define demand as a priority. This applies to both domestic and foreign handloom product marketplaces. An anthropologist's delight, it has been said, is traditional design. Traditional designs, on the other hand, are a part of the people's cultural history. Individuals of various ages pick out designs that suit their individual likes and tastes. Young buyers prefer fancy and contemporary patterns and styles. Jamdani weavers, on the other hand, are virtually exclusively interested in weaving traditional themes and patterns. As a result, a little thought and modernization of existing designs is required to enhance market share. The study is focused on knowing and studying the traditional Jamdani motifs. Research is done by both primary and secondary sources. The selection of data on the sample has been done on the basis of random selection. There were limitations in the study as not all the artists were approachable. I have drawn inspiration from East Indian famous temples like Kamakhaya, Konark temple which pursues geometrical designs. And have implemented it in the tops as a placement.
