James H. Winn's contributions to the Arts & Crafts movement as both a jeweler and a teacher are noteworthy. Born in 1866, he underwent artistic training at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago under the guidance of the renowned Louis J. Millet. Millet's influence extended to other notable students, including Clara Barck Wells (the Kalo Shop), Rose and Minnie Dolese (the Wilro Shop), and Jessie Preston. Winn commenced his career in 1895 as a jewelry manufacturer. In 1905, he established a studio in Chicago's Fine Arts Building, where he not only crafted jewelry but also imparted his knowledge as a teacher. This dual role continued until 1929, at which point he relocated to California. Examining Winn's body of work, one can observe an evolution in style. His early pieces bear the imprint of Art Nouveau, characterized by flowing lines and organic motifs. In contrast, his later creations exhibit a shift towards more geometric designs, aligning with the principles of the Arts and Crafts movement. Winn's legacy is thus marked by his skillful craftsmanship, artistic evolution, and significant influence on both the creation and teaching aspects of the Arts & Crafts movement during the early 20th century.
