James Wardhaugh was born in Edmonton in 1986. Growing up in the Ottawa area he first attended post secondary education at the Haliburton School of Art + Design for art fundamentals, and then glass. He then attended the craft and design program at Sheridan College where he majored in glass. After graduating, he stayed on one extra year working at a teaching assistant.
He then went on to work for several glass studies including Tsunami Glassworks, the Jeff Goodman studio, and the Living Arts Center. He also worked with many other independent artists.
