The art of Craftsman Weekend in Pasadena
Although many events at this year’s Craftsman Weekend celebration have sold out, there is still much to tempt fans of the American Arts and Crafts movement.
The three-day event organized by the preservation group Pasadena Heritage starts Nov. 13 and will include an evening reception at Judson Studios; lectures on interior design and preservation; hands-on workshops on embroidery and tile making; and bus tours of significant Craftsman-era homes, including the Greene and Greene-designed Pitcairn House on the campus of the Westridge School for Girls.
The weekend’s offerings will also include docent-led walking tours of historic neighborhoods including Bungalow Heaven, South Marengo and La Loma along the Arroyo, as well as a free Antiques and Contemporary Furnishing and Decorative Arts Sale at the Pasadena Convention Center.
The self-driven Craftsman House Tour closes out the weekend on Nov. 15 with stops at 1915 Bessler House designed by John Patton, the 1912 McKnight House in Pasadena’s Garfield Heights Historic District; the 1910 Simpson House designed by Arthur and Alfred Heineman; Charles Buchanan’s Flintoft House, built in 1911; the G. Lawrence-designed Root House; and the Phillips House, designed by builder B. Marshall Wotkyns.
