In this session, attendees will be introduced to the fundamentals of overshot drafts. Through studying historical and contemporary examples, the group will explore the main motifs and how they are created. With this knowledge of structure and context, Tegan will teach how she uses name drafting as a starting point to create individualistic overshot drafts that have been used in fashion yardage, traditional coverlets, and other applications. Using graph paper and weaving design software, the session will explore 4 and 8 harness variations. This workshop is for attendees who want to dig into drafting, structures, and gain the confidence to start designing their own unique overshot draft.
