Overshot Weaving on a Floor Loom
Description: Overshot Weaving Workshop!
In its simplest form – overshot is a weaving technique that utilizes at least 2 different types of weft yarns and floats to create a pattern. The name overshot possibly comes from the way the weft “shoots” over the plain weave (ground weft) to create decorative floats. In this class we will have lots of fun playing with different patterns and how colors effect patterns. We will also learn how to hemstitch our ends.
In this class we will be weaving a pattern sampler in coasters!
Not a beginning weaver class. Must have woven before.
CLASS MEETS FOR TWO SESSIONS
