Abstract

This qualitative study employed a phenomenological methodology and aimed to: 1) investigate the history of the natural tie-dye fabric wisdom of Ban Kiriwong, 2) extract the knowledge associated with creating natural tie-dye fabrics, and 3) propose strategies for developing natural dyed fabric products from Ban Kiriwong. The informants consisted of five individuals, including the community leader and members of Ban Kiriwong. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and non-participatory observation and were analyzed using content analysis. The findings revealed that: 1) Ban Kiriwong was a community rich in historical and cultural heritage. The art of natural tie-dye fabric production had been passed down through generations, using local natural materials such as seed pods, bark, and leaves. This practice resulted in fabrics with unique colors and patterns that reflected the community’s identity.  2) The tie-dye process involved four primary steps: preparation of materials, tying patterns, boiling for color fixation, and sun drying. Each step required significant skill and expertise from the artisans.  3) The strategies for product development included improving the quality of materials, designing products that aligned with market demands, creating a brand that reflected Ban Kiriwong’s identity, and utilizing digital marketing technology to expand sales channels. This study emphasized the importance of preserving local wisdom alongside sustainable development. It highlighted the potential for enhancing the value of natural tie-dye fabric products.
