Internationally renowned designer and folk artist Jim Shore, whose work includes the popular Heartwood Creek® and Disney Traditions® collections from Enesco, will greet Williamsburg-area residents during an exclusive personal appearance at Yankee Candle Village.

Advance reservations for this event are not required; however, area residents are encouraged to arrive early to ensure they will have ample time to meet with Shore.


About Jim Shore: Jim Shore grew up in rural South Carolina, the son of artistic parents who instilled a love of the traditional values expressed in American folk art. His grandmother was a master quilter who taught him an appreciation for the patience and skill required to bring intricate designs to life. Today, Jim's unmistakable style combines elements of folk art and a vibrant color palette, which he applies across a range of themes and formats, creating a charming and innovative décor statement for the home.
