Overshot Patterned Double Weave with Barb Gallagher

August 17 @ 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Sounds crazy! But if you don’t like the floats in overshot – this eliminates them. If you don’t like double weave on 4 shafts because you can only do plain weave – this will give you patterns. Learn how to take any overshot pattern and turn it into this technique.

You’ll start by weaving on your pre-warped loom. Then you’ll learn how to take an overshot draft, do some magic – and create these patterns. And then – practice how to weave. It’s really a lot of fun!

Students need to bring: a warped shaft loom at least 8” wide, yarns to use for weft – (same as your warp), and normal weaving tools and supplies. Threading information and directions sent upon registration.

Saturday, August 17
10 am to 4 pm
$85 BSWG members
$115 non-BSWG members (includes one year guild membership)
