Hendersonville, N.C. —

Manual Woodworkers & Weavers has signed a licensing agreement for the Heartwood Creek collection of artwork by portraitist, sculptor and folk artist Jim Shore.

Manual Woodworkers will interpret Heartland designs in a variety of tapestry products, including throws, decorative pillows, wall decor, runners and placemats. The line will be directed at the gift market, where Shore's work is already available in tabletop, keepsakes, frames and ornaments produced under license by Enesco.

The textiles collection will launch this July at the summer round of gift shows in Atlanta, Las Vegas, Dallas, Chicago and Los Angeles.
