Indonesia has various kinds of traditional woven fabrics, one of them is Buhun Gadod woven fabric, which is a woven fabric from Nunuk Baru Village. The Buhun Gadod woven fabric has the characteristic shape of the lines on the woven fabric and has been around for a hundred years. This woven fabric has four types of pattern called capithurang, kotak-kotak, mata garo and salimpet pattern. But currently, there are only two pattern that are still used, which is capithurang and kotak-kotak pattern. Meanwhile, the other two pattern have become extinct. Over time, due to the fewer number of active weavers in Nunuk Baru Village and the lack of innovation in the pattern of Buhun Gadod woven fabrics also the change in the use of natural dyes to synthetic dyes, Buhun Gadod weaving became a traditional woven fabric that had to be developed. The development of pattern starts by doing field observations and interviews to find out the natural potential and local wisdom in Nunuk Baru Village which will be used for pattern exploration using stilasi techniques without losing the characteristics of the Buhun Gadod woven fabric. The natural dyes used are collected from plants that are commonly found in Nunuk Baru Village such as secang, pandan leaves, mahogany, mangosteen, turmeric and teak leaves. This natural dye exploration can optimize the dyeing process that has been done in Nunuk Baru Village and improve the quality of Buhun Gadod woven fabrics by reusing natural dyes
