DESCRIPTION:Title: National Osher Online - Threads of History: The World of Oriental Rugs\n\nDescription: What makes an Oriental rug so captivating: its elegant design, intricate patterns, or the mystery of its origins? In this richly illustrated course, we will discover the stories woven into these remarkable textiles. We will travel through the history and artistry of rug and carpet weaving, a tradition rooted in Asia and North Africa, with examples dating back to the 4th century BCE. Using stunning visuals and expert insights, we will explore major carpet-making cultures and regions including Anatolia, Iran, Transcaucasia, North Africa, and Central Asia. We will learn to recognize defining features of Oriental rugs: weaving traditions (nomadic and settled), key historical periods (from the Early Modern era through the 19th-century), purposes (from prayer to decoration), and production contexts (from royal courts to bustling markets). We will also be introduced to basic methods for identifying weave structures and deepen our appreciation of these remarkable works of art. Note: The new refund policy applies.\n\nSchedule: Mondays, July 6, 13, 20, 27, 3, 10\n\nLocation: Synchronous Online Classes held online following set schedule.  VA
