Brad Davis and Janis Provisor were already established artists and in their late 40s, when they established their luxury carpets business, Fort Street Studio. Inspired by their passion for Chinese art, and a year-long immersion in the silk-making and woodcut-printing traditions of Hangzhou’s artisans and factories, they set out to weave their own water-coloured dreams into breathtakingly beautiful rugs that now grace the homes of Hollywood celebrities and designer boutiques around the world.
Painterly designs on rugs may be commonplace today, but it was Fort Street Studio that pioneered the aesthetic. Davis and Provisor were also the ones who painstakingly translated the ancient weaving process of hand-knotted silk they learned from Hangzhou, which is in a manner that is the same as that of the oldest rugs in the world, only modernised for today.

Noblesville is driving forward with a $113 million plan to rebuild Pleasant Street and erect a bridge over the White River on an alternative route that lessens intrusion in a historic neighborhood.
But the new route will jog through the property of a long-time Noblesville manufacturer which has threatened to move from the city. The project will also require demolishing or acquiring parcels from scores of homes and businesses.
“There will be an impact with something this size,” said City Engineer Alison Krupski.
