To Hannah, folk art is meant to be lived with, shared, and kept alive; Jamesie is her way of doing that.

WHEN SHE BEGAN DREAMING UP JAMESIE, HANNAH KNEW IT NEEDED TO BE A PLACE TO SHARE THE THINGS SHE HOLDS CLOSE. EVEN THE NAME IS PERSONAL. IT IS INSPIRED BY THE MANY “JAMESES” IN HER FAMILY, BUT ESPECIALLY HER LITTLE BROTHER, WHO SHE REFERS TO AS “JAMESIE.”

FROM THERE, JAMESIE GREW OUT OF HER LOVE FOR FOLK ART AND THE TRADITIONAL SKILLS PASSED DOWN FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT. THROUGH JAMESIE, HANNAH SOURCES VINTAGE PIECES THAT CELEBRATE THESE TRADITIONS, AND HOSTS HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS WHERE PEOPLE CAN SLOW DOWN, CONNECT TO THEIR COMMUNITY, AND LEARN A SKILL THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE BE FORGOTTEN.
