Pasadena Heritage Craftsman Weekend

Pasadena Heritage will present the 27th Annual Craftsman Weekend on November 9-11, 2018. Special this year we have several offerings that highlight the Asian influence on Craftsman architecture. Included in those are a lecture and tour at the Gamble House, a bus tour, and our Saturday night reception at the Storrier Sterns Japanese Garden. The Weekend will feature house tours of notable Craftsman properties including two Greene and Greene commissions, along with bus and walking tours of the surrounding neighborhoods. Other events scheduled include a Show and Sale with exhibitors of antique and contemporary furniture and decorative arts, a silent auction, workshops and presentations. In addition, Pasadena Heritage will be offering exclusive receptions at historic locations throughout the weekend. A notable feature in this year’s program is five bus tours, more than we have ever offered before.

The Craftsman Movement

The City of Pasadena is home to some of the most notable examples of the Craftsman Movement on the West Coast. Also known as the American Arts and Crafts Movement, the architectural style emerged in the early 1900’s and is noted for its emphasis of ceramics, art, and other features developed by skilled craftsmen. Tracing its roots to England, Craftsmen design has nevertheless developed a unique and internationally lauded aesthetic in Pasadena, with the work of architects Charles and Henry Greene, tile maker Ernest Batchelder, and writer/photographer Helen Lukens Gaut, among others.
