Weaver Rose: Overshot and More
Weaver Rose: Overshot and More
Date:  July 17-23, 2024
Instructor:  Norma Smayda
​​​​​​​Video Duration: Approximately 2 hours
Workshop Description:  This workshop is based on the original overshot threading drafts of William Henry Harrison Rose, AKA Weaver Rose. We will begin with a brief history of Weaver Rose and the time period in which he worked. His original drafts were written in a way common to weavers of his era, but not easily interpreted by weavers of today. I will show you how to interpret them and give you examples to work on. This section of the workshop will be a PowerPoint presentation, allowing you to see his charming threading drafts and his original woven work, my woven samples as I have interpreted them, and two of his looms. These looms are still in use at the Saunderstown Weaving School. We will discuss traditional overshot as we currently draft it, concentrating on threading, tie-up, and treadling. There will be time for participants to write out overshot drafts using standard threading and treadling principles and time for Q& A. Ultimately, you may choose to create your own overshot design. 
 
Supplies:  paper, graph paper, pencil, and eraser
Materials/Handouts Fee:  None
Attendee Limit:  unlimited
