Utilization of the shaping feature can be used to sketch simple woven motifs, namely Karaja weaving. Karaja ikat weaving originates from West Sumba Regency. The purpose of community service is to introduce students to Karaja weaving motifs through simple sketches using the shaping feature so that students not only understand the basic forms and patterns of motifs, but are also able to develop visual skills, creativity, and numeracy literacy based on local culture.
