Located in a
converted roller
rink, about 90 miles west of Chicago Illinois, USA, James Howard
Co., has sold art room equipment of its own design and manufacture
since 1972.
The company's first product was a large
classroom easel, cited for Excellence, Design of Educational Equipment,
American Iron and Steel
Institute, Design In Steel 1971. It is still available.
One thing led to another.
Broad acceptance of the easel in colleges, art schools, secondary schools,
museums, and workshops inspired more studio equipment—all with kindred
attributes—all embodying utility welded to simplicity.
Currently
James Howard Co. makes three types of drawing horses;
taborets (painters' side tables); utility stools; model stands with
detachable accessories;
non-technical tilt-top drawing
tables; 'split-top' drawing tables; vertical and horizontal moveable painting
storage racks; and, of course, easels. |

we, as the sole manufacturer of what we sell,
are well-tooled to modify our cataloged products to suit your particular
needs. Ninety-nine percent of the time this is done without
