Loss of a wonderful tapestry weaving teacher

It is with great sadness that I inform you of James Koehler's passing. James died last night, Thursday, March 3rd. At this time there are no details for a memorial service. James was loved and respected by many, many friends and students.
I had taken two courses from James Koehler and hoped to take more. he was a very patient man. I have a book that was published recently on his interesting life. I'm very sad to hear this. Heather

    I was a student of his also. He was a wonderful man and a truly incredible teacher.

    From another student: what a shock, and what a loss. A marvelous (one of his favorite words) artist and teacher.
