Overshot Project

Over several years, a group of Guild members wove a variety of overshot designs. Each member of this group selected a specific overshot design and threaded a loom with enough warp to accommodate all the members in the group. Each person selected a weft color(s) and wove each design with their color selection. They completed this project at the end of 2016 and here are the fruits of their labor! Beautiful!

As to how these pieces will be used, some will make pillows, some coverlets.

Kudos to these talented weavers!
