Exploring Malaysian Batik and Pakistani Henna through Ceramics

This research and development project delves into the distinctions between Malaysian Batik and other batik traditions, along with the unique aspects of Pakistani henna. The fusion of cultures influenced by British colonization is represented in the ceramics artwork. The exploration of slip trailing as a technique, inspired by henna application, is highlighted alongside the problem-solving process encountered during the creation of test pieces. The project also includes the idea development for an exhibition, showcasing sketches and final photos, and outlines future career plans in teaching art internationally. The plan spans from gaining teaching experience in international schools in Malaysia to pursuing a PGCE qualification and eventually applying for art teaching positions in the U.K. and beyond, with the aspiration of teaching while traveling and setting up a personal website for showcasing artwork and experiences.

  3. MALAYSIAN BATIK • Why Malaysian Batik? • I was born and raised in Malaysia, and this is one of the Malaysian traditional art that is widely known. • What is the difference between Malaysian batik, and other batik (Indian & Indonesian)? • Malaysian vs Indonesian: Malaysian batik is bright, colourful, and detail. A combination of organic and geometric forms. Indonesian batik colours are very autumn season (brown, black, orange, and red) with repetitions. • Malaysian vs Indian: Malaysian batik follows the Islamic rule which is no humans, and animals forms with abstract organic forms rather than identical to the nature. INDONESIAN BATIK MALAYSIAN BATIK INDIAN BATIK

  4. PAKISTANI HENNA WHY PAKISTANI HENNA? • I am half Pakistani, and my mother’s side are majority Pakistani. We still follow our Pakistani tradition. What is the difference between Pakistani henna and other henna (Indian & Moroccan)?: • Similar to Malaysian batik, Pakistani henna follows Islamic laws when it comes to body decoration; less is more. • Indian henna tends to fill in almost all of the empty spaces. • Moroccan henna focuses on geometric forms.

  10. Problems encountered & HOW IT WAS SOLVED • Drying process of the slip trailing • * Temperature and humidity • - The higher the temperature of the weather the quicker it will dry but most importantly, • the humidity of the weather plays a huge roll in the drying process. • - The lower the humidity, the higher the chances of the work to crack, and collapse. • SOLUTION: Blow dry from the inside and outside of my work for 4 minutes with hand motions going • horizontal • Blow dry the plastic cover and the wooden planks and immediately cover the work. The warmth from the • heat gun will give a consistent, gradual drying process. • - The higher the humidity, the better and consistent the drying process is. • Glossy clear glaze instead of clear matte glaze • * Different kilns gives different results but why? • - the size of the kilns; • Bigger kilns (Rhoda) due to big space for better air circulations • Placement of the work: bottom shelves gives the desired results • - Layers of application of the glaze • Sensory overload and anxiety • * Quiet environment
