Jim was initially inspired by the knotted rugs of Persia, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. Also by tribal societies in North and South America and Africa. He used primarily woollen yarn in his rugs, blankets and tapestry wall hangings. He produced the yarn himself taking it from the raw fleece through the cleaning, carding, spinning and plant-dying processes. Invested in each piece is hundreds of hours of meticulous work all done by hand as it has been done for centuries past. Each item is unique and crafted to last for generations.

 

Jim will be remembered for his perfected craft, his wealth of knowledge, and his kind and gentle nature. A true gentleman Jim wove his latest creations at the Deloraine Creative Studios. He will be forever missed by all who knew him.
