About

Maybe you’ve been dreaming of learning to weave? You are in good company! We help folks unleash their creativity through the craft of weaving.

Hi there! I’m James, weaver and writer. I create cool stuff from a retreat center outside of Albuquerque, next to the Cibola National Forest, and I love waking up every morning to the tranquil absence of noisy traffic other than deer wandering by every morning.

I’ve been fortunate to have chosen in my twenties to pursue the life of a working craft artisan, in my case weaving and fiber arts.

Weaving and selling my work has provided the freedom to live life on my own terms. Since I love weaving, I don’t think of it as work. It’s what I look forward to doing every day!

I also love teaching and helping others who have thought about learning the craft of weaving (and maybe turning that hobby into a business like I did!) Along the way, I taught others how to weave and wrote a bunch of books on starting a crafts business.

The books led to interviews in The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Finance, Family Circle, Working Mothers, Entrepreneur Radio and HGTV’s The Carol Duvall Show.

Besides my own workshops, I have presented handmade products marketing programs for the University of Alaska, New Mexico Community College, The Bootcamp for Artists and Craftspeople, The Learning Annex, and at the National Association of Independent Artists.

Hope you will join me in one of our immersive weekend workshops here at the retreat center south of Albuquerque.
