In the early 1980s, Kathy began crafting handmade sheep, bears, and rabbits. With encouragement from her husband, Jim, she opened The Sheep Shed—and that’s where it all began!
​
A few years later, Jim started building furniture to complement Kathy’s creations. It didn’t take long before her customers began requesting full-size furniture for their homes. With Kathy’s encouragement, Jim expanded his focus to include cupboards, tables, and more, launching Worn New England—and the journey continued!
​
Together, Kathy and Jim have been creating artisan handcrafts ever since. Their work has reached customers across New England, and their network continues to grow. Exhibiting at some of the region's most highly rated juried craft fairs alongside other talented artisans, their craftsmanship has become their full-time passion.
