Title Statement PTRI natural dye application technology for the upgrading of ivatan handicrafts industry in Batanes by Janice O. Pagkalinawan Physical Description 31-35 pictures Summary, Etc.      The handicraft industry in Batanes pertaining to the production of souvenir woven products plays an important role in the emerging eco-tourism and cultural tourism programs of the province. Evaluation of the produced crafts revealed a need for improvement with regards to the design, packaging and visual appeal of the products. PTRI's established natural dye extraction and application technologies using yellow ginger (Curcuma longga), talisay (Terminalia cattapa), young coconut (Cocos nucifera) and kogon (Imperata cylindrical) were introduced to the Ivatan handicraft producers through lecture and hands-on training/workshop using their emdemic fibers pandan, vayasuvas, and voyavoy. The experience created knowledge and know-how on new skills that could improve the quality and aesthetic value of their products. Likewise, the scouring and bleaching processes for fibers significantly benefited the fiber producers in maintaining good quality fibers. The intervention provided a more in-depth and efficient method for fiber processing and dyeing to strengthen the marketability of Batanes crafts hence, establishing a more globally competitive industry and at the same time supporting the promotion of eco-tourism in the province (Author's abstract) Subject Added Entry - Topical Term Science and technology   Yellow ginger (Curcuma longga)   Talisay (Terminalia cattapa)   Young coconut (Cocos nucifera)   Kogon ( Imperata cylindrical   Pandan   Vayasuvas   Voyavoy   Batanes -- TRI natural dye application technology for the upgrading of ivatan handicrafts industry           Physical Location           Digital Copy Not Available          Add to Book Cart  |   Download MARC
