GIFT TEXTILE DESIGN AND WEAVING





"TRUTH OF GIFT INSTITUTE AHMEDABAD"

 Industry needs designers who possess updated designing skills along with good communication & presentation skills too. Industry doesn't require those designers who unnecessarily explain & give justification about his/her design work?

“TEXTILE AND ITS WAY OF WORKING FROM SCRATCH TO END PRODUCT”, As a Learner & Designer. By Prof. Khalid Ameer Rafique.
SEPTEMBER 2011
FIVE AND HALF YEARS OF LEARNING TEXTILE DESIGN AT NID AHMEDABAD AND APPAREL DESIGN WORKSHOP where I have learnt from Ex Senior Most NID Faculty and FIT New York Senior Faculty for NID APPAREL DESIGN Faculty Development Programme at NID Ahmedabad, than after and with, almost thirty four years EXPERIENCE of TEXTILE,TEXTILE WEAVING AND OVER ALL TEXTILE DESIGNING with REPUTE Textile Industries in INDIA, even than I feel my gathered knowledge about textile is not complete.
Out of thirty four years of my work experience, sixteen years I have pure and solid experience with repute Textile Industries in India, such as ARVIND MILLS AHMEDABAD, from there I have began my first PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE OF WOVEN APPAREL FABRIC DESIGNING such as Suiting, Shirting and Dress Material etc, JAYA SHREE TEXTILE {LINEN MILLS} RISHRA, WEST BENGAL, there from I have developed versatile textile, which varies from finest to thicker “LINEN FABRIC” such as Shirting, Suiting, Dress Material, Jacket Material, Fire Retardant Fabric, Home Furnishing, Specially Designed for hand loom sector woven furnishing and jacket fabric, as well as various blends of textile and purposeful fabric as linen, in endless permutation and combination with effortless through empirical methods of each new blends with linen and other textile fibres to enhance quality of linen fabric for Domestic and Overseas Market.“ LIKE SCRATCH TO END USER”, it is like “From development to outreach the targeted final consumer”. Then RAYMOND MILLS,THANE there I worked specially for high quality of WORSTED SUITING DEVELOPMENT, along with working in Industry, I used to teach DURING MY VACATION at NID as a visiting faculty for almost 12 years, where I have shared my expertise and exposure in different areas of Textile and its Market which I have gone through while working in versatile textile mills of India ON REPUTE with NID students. After that I was Full Time Faculty at NID for 2 years then again gone back to industry as a consultant with my old industrial associates.
After Founding GIFT NGO on 05TH Day of OCTOBER 1995 in Ahmedabad UNDER BANNER OF GIFT: GANDHI INSTITUTE OF FASHION TEXTILE in AHMEDABAD-GUJARAT-INDIA and Till today with my expertise and experience of textile and textile Design in versatile meaning of TEXTILE I have found that in MANY KNOWN DESIGN INSTITUTES it is very difficult to make fresh learners to learn WEAVE & WEAVING and practice appropriately Design as understood, Fabric construction which they have learned during their education, that is why for them finding job with Handsome perks and salary is not an easy task today. But at GIFT to understand how to design fabrics in synchronization of fibre to yarn, yarn to fabric with understanding of weaving machine capacities etc is quite HANDY for them, simply because of the GIFT NGO Design Education POLICIES in general to all GIFT learners.
“I FEEL MORE HUMBLE & HUMAN AFTER I FOUNDED GIFT NGO”.
“Take benefits from this blog to enhance your profession”
The Story of my learning at NID is like almost lost memories which I cannot recall, because I never live and work like my other colleagues except sports and all my good deeds which I have favoured humbly, humanly, to all NIDians, by my heart and soul, without any personal cause and needs, which no NID personals and associate can DENY.
At NID from morning six am to almost 11pm except holiday throughout the year I used to work for my knowledge and design skills, rather than gossiping, talking ill for any cause, to be foolish critic, finding faults in education systems and others, only talking and not doing any things, Non productive activities after with great length discussions, Human emotion without heart and soul, whistling-giggling having fun all the time and many more subject can be written for this education systems but certainly it was not my cup of tea, which I ignored with my fullest conscious, courageously and courteously to all those things at NID, which were not Human to me, like a Good Human, like my parents, brothers, sister, few friends of NID and few INDIANS like Gandhiji and now my wife ,son and daughter. Certainly I was not alone at NID during my learning, because I felt I was the happiest person due to my progress every day GOOD and next day again GOOD and NO DOUBT NID RESOURCE CENTRE, WORKING PLACE, WORK SHOPS, STUDIOS, GENERAL FABULOUS FACILITIES ROUND THE CLOCK and its GREEN surrounding etc, which I left behind, their critics and my last day of working, teaching and learning at NID.
Then how can I remember how much I have worked while learning at NID may be my thinking or may be my skilful subjective learning, then how to count that my past activities, for that I was not having time to calculate and tabulate systematically for me and for others like my colleagues used to do for their future. For example, if I calculate and put things in an orderly Manner and forming tabulate to present my SAMPLE WEAVING OR ITS LEARNING is almost FOUR TIMES MORE than my learning days at NID, due to that I was not able to do so and because of that I have no, proper presentation of my above learning at NID, SORRY for such cause in ones in my life and life to live as on. For such presentation one needs money to satisfy whom for what cause, learning or others egos, for me learning at NID, was more JOYFUL than NID and LIVE HAPPYLY is more important, rather than satisfying others IDIOM EGOS IDIOTICALLY. But I never hurt any one and any one feeling as a human, which no body can deny, that is why I was call for teaching at NID, immediately as soon after my graduation as a visiting faculty for major subject as coordination of textile weaving apparel and print design, for that ARVIND MILLS of Ahmedabad allowed me half a day for eight weeks, to reach NID by auto and back I have paid four time more than what I got paid by NID for its purpose of teaching at NID,I know they were poor in account, because they were like me, but today they knows account in detail and comparison to account, designing is less known to them, which is not GOOD for them and for NID. This is I understood from my past experience of NID.SORRY.
SIMPLY as a learner of NID, through out of my tenor, I was a Teacher and Guide to my self. That is why I was the only student of NID in that Time, who have taken weaving sector as such COMPOSITE TEXTILE UNITE {Textile Industries as} as a challenge to work in as a Textile Designer and later after joining Textile industry weaving sector, I found nothing is tough, if there is a zest of working, success is there, by virtue of GOD Almighty.
If you like to be learner of Textile Weaving be a Teacher and Guide for your self than your learning becomes easy and simple than only you can simplify all weaving concept, BEFORE its weaving on SAMPLE LOOM, which is very important for working in textile industries, there designer never weave on sample loom, is not their job, kindly understand the above message.
Please note down, this is very, very important message for learner as well as for teachers.
From the above methods and understanding, one can synchronise their knowledge of weaves as required for, appropriate fabric structure {construction} for design look and its tactile along with varying yarn with different blends and colours in its final fabric weaving, to get true picture of woven sample on surface or underneath as thoughts before process of sample weaving, which is very, verily important in industry for cost of development and as well as time factor to lead in competitive market.
One can understand the above message, when they practice appropriately and certainly they will enhance desired results.
People of the textile world, may find me, foolish, because I have made my knowledge with my heart and soul, total transparent in favour of global learners of textile weaving, so they can without any hurdles and difficulties, do’s and don’ts, with no hesitation and hindrance can share my expertise, from where any fresh learner can take or gather knowledge, from my notes in their favour of their textile world by the virtue of God Almighty and by G.I.F.T. NGO.
I simplified weaving construction for the fresh learner in such a way, before heading to sample loom and weave fabric sample, they should know what they are going to get on fabric top surface and underneath, which is very easy to understand, for an example: if learner is learning multiple layer of fabric as such “double cloth or multi layer cloth weave” may be from finest to the coarser count to weave finest fabric to the thickest fabric, as such Neck ties fabric to tapestry fabric, where you can utilise multiple layer of fabric weave through interlacement for forming various design motifs as per drawn sketch colourfully while utilising the understanding of fabric construction appropriate manipulation of warp ends play and weft insertion, without loosing the loom shaft frame guide line through peg plane, which should be synchronize, warp and pick play as according to the fabric construction and design motif, certainly one can see every single warp end and weft pick role on graph of weave construction clearly and more in fabric sample weaving, to weave multi layer, one need to began weaving from bottom to top layer or vice versa, without disturbing there partner shaft frame, that means two shaft needed for plain and as on like for different weave, while weaving, except partner shaft frame, no other partner shaft should allowed to interlace, that means other partner shaft frame are kept ideal, may be in bottom or on top of the weave open shade, when one partner shaft is involve in weaving, once their weft insertion gets completed, they should be kept in bottom ideal, than next partner shaft frame will weave, as on one can easily weave multi layer fabric with sound understanding of warp ends and picks working.
To make understand FRESH GIFT LEARNER the above MULTI LAYER FABRIC CONSTRUCTION, we make them to weave with different colour paper strip on paper only to understand the weave of fabric, than we teaches FABRIC SETTING along with REED COUNT and DENTING ORDER IN RELATION TO WARP & WEFT COUNT in detail in theories and as well as through PRACTICALLY.
After wards we teaches them all manipulation and derivatives of weaves so they should not get DISHEARTENED while seeing such fabric in market, but I feel sorry, except GIFT no other institution are teaching such things in detail as per my knowledge. That is why GIFT NGO DESIGN INSTITUTE is different from others.
That is why only few has the zest for textile and they can learn by themselves, by analysing the fabric systematically then think, how many such design student are there to take pain for such learning. No doubt it is not complicated, it is very easy, if someone uses logic and its synchronisation of warp and weft interlacement, as appropriately guided through peg plan “FABRIC CONSTRUCTION” along with INTERLACEMENT of warp and weft to see while doing analysis of fabric, becomes very easy, have PATIENCE, this is the only way from others work, world designers are learning and upgrading them self.
At GIFT initially we teach them, on white board all fabric weave CONSTRUCTION and there derivatives style systematically and they note down on graph paper the same, then we ask them to weave the same with paper strips, while marking through vertical cut on paper as warp strip and weft should be through insertion, due to that what they have not understood while teaching on board for almost 16 hours, but they understand, while doing with paper strips as weave construction weaving pattern in different colour, no doubt they learn in detail and their learning is much rapid than above. I have developed this exercise for GIFT learners where we provide them in rectangle form in between the paper vertical cut strips as warp and ask them to weave with colourful strips as they have learnt on white board, as follows:
PLAIN WEAVE {TABBY}, WEFT RIB {OXFORD}, WARP REP, DRILL WEAVE, BASKET WEAVE, TWIL WEAVE, BROKEN-HERRINGBONE-POINTED-DIAMOND-AND WAVY TWILL AND ITS ALL DERIVATIVES, COLOUR AND WEAVE-CORD WEAVE, BED FORD CORD WEAVE, VELYET WEAVE, REGULAR & IRREGULAR SATEEN WEAVE, GOOSE EYES, ROSE PATH, BIRDS EYE, WHEAT, CRAPE WEAVES, HONEYCOMB WEAVE, HUCKABACK WEAVE, MOCK LENO WEAVE, DOUBLE CLOTH WEAVE, TUBULAR WEAVE AND MULTI LAYER CLOTH WEAVE.
While weaving the above mention weaves, with paper strips systematically they understand how warp is working and along with weft behaviour on fabric surface as well as underneath at GIFT.
Once the above exercise gets over with gathered weaving knowledge then GIFT learners analyse the market fabric which GIFT provide in house to each GIFT LEARNER, according to the above mentioned all different styles of textile woven fabric, after completing these exercises they know how many ends and picks per inch in finished fabric and their interlacement. Due to this learning, they are again able to make graph of weave structure of that particular market sample what they analyse, with this exercise they develop confidence and they are able to co-relate their previous learning. That means in 3 weeks they become capable to do as they want in weaving.
The above mentioned GIFT EDUCATION POLICY indicates that any fresh learner can do miracles in weaving, while knowing or not knowing the loom mechanism and capacity of the machine for design weaves, because they learnt the FABRIC CONSTRUCTION IN DETAIL. For example if GIFT learner wants to convert the sketch in jacquard weave in style of tapestry they are able to do as their drawn sketch. Converting sketch into weave become possible for them, because they know every single end and pick behaviours appropriately, how that from the design step by step in weaving.
While learning through paper strips all fabric weave construction and analysing the same construction of market finish fabric in different count in above mention exercise, with all other details, they understand, ALL BASICS OF FABRIC CONSTRUCTION and its weaving.
It is like
Magnetizing art through the sorcerer’s splashing of wonderful thoughts,
With meaningful abstract ideas of heart,
As like a clever crow’s mind sort,
Like a directional continuous tortoise walk,
Without a giving up attitude as a confused fox,
That gives a way to GIFT students.
For GIFT learners weaving enhance basic knowledge is like their SORCERER’S ART and they weave like MAGICIAN and their colours plays symphonic sort in harmonious pleasant rhythm.
After completing the paper strip weaving step by step, through that knowledge they can have multiple colour for warp in appropriate style of drafting, enhances through the peg plan they can change according to the motif of design what they have to weave along with synchronised weft appropriately with this style they can bring as many colour on fabric surface according to the motif of design and they can hide inside the layer of fabric as wedded cloth.
Certainly, it is a child’s game for GIFT LEARNERS. No doubt their abilities about understanding from now, for all textile basic construction, which they can manipulate, the way they wants. For example jacquard weave, warp and weft effect weave, distorted weaves and multiple colour and weave effect etc, they can analyse appropriately and can change to different design for any Textile Purpose.
They think before going on loom to weave the sample, they know everything what they are going to get once they put the warp on sample hand loom machine to get appropriate fabric as they design, and when they weave the sample, for them it is a child’s game. To make them understand more in detail they should weave samples while blocking loom shaft for purposeful meaning to get different look of textile.
The above knowledge make designers more encouraging when such thing can be learned in institutions, then certainly for such designers doors are open in industry because they will not waste time to train them and they know they are capable of fulfilling the needs of industry as desired by the market. After that we teach them in theories fibre, yarn, count, etc, because this subject is for designers’ is quite boring as a fresh learner. That is why at GIFT we have different policies and methods of teaching, due to that we never follow any teaching where student lose the heart of learning. That is why we are different than other institutions globally. Here we teach the above subject after weaving understating. In other design institutions they teach initially before weaving.
That means once the student develop the zest of learning textile, which we know that, one cannot learn in total, the world textile in one life, learning should not be compare to with earning, than there is no end of their learning, by the grace of God Almighty.
Dr. N. N. Mahapatra . C. Col .FSDC {UK}, C. Text FTI {Manchester} teaches at GIFT in detail about FIBRE, FIBRE DYEING, SPINNING, YARN, YARN DYEING, DYEING, FIBRE DYEING, FABRIC PRINTING, FABRIC PROCESSING AND FABRIC GRADING etc.
While keeping in mind the above knowledge and understanding, as a teacher Dr. Mahapatraji teaches fibre, yarn, their blends, extra effect, in spinning, and so many things about fibre and yarn, and because they have knowledge about weaving before this subject, due to that they themselves, take interest to learn more and more, because this knowledge what Dr. Mahapatraji add in their learning, certainly will give them boost in their designing, By the grace of God Almighty.
