Henning Watterston

Henning Watterston was one of the most successful weaver/designers of the postwar period. He studied painting and textile design at the Rudolph Schaeffer School of Design in San Francisco. In 1941 he and his wife, Carolyn Rees, joined Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin Fellowship, where they designed and wove curtains for Wright’s Rose Pauson House in Phoenix, Arizona. Through the 1940s, Watterston became well-known for his textural casements designed for Menlo Textiles. In 1949, he moved his studio to New York. Through the 1950s, he designed high-end and custom fabrics for decorators, and worked with Craftex Mills in Philadelphia.
