Description: Learn the basics of this little known weaving technique! Coined by David Xenakis and Madelyn van der Hoogt in the late 70’s, Tied Overshot has the familiar half-tones of classic overshot and limited design possibilities- all with just 3 shafts or two heddles. Day one covers structure theory, design, and threading. Day 2 will be focused on weaving the sample project.
