He creates items both with a traditional look at historical weave structures and custom high end pieces that use handspun and/or hand-dyed yarns, color and weave, and embroidered accents on woven pieces. Jay has been weaving and teaching weaving for more than 12 years. His process starts with inspiration from a photo or another source. In custom pieces it also starts with a story and is woven into wearable art."
