| The Craftsman Movement (also known as the American Arts & Crafts Movement) emerged in the early 20th Century in the United States as an outgrowth of the English Arts & Crafts Movement. Its hallmark is a philosophy of honest, simple design expressed in hand-made creations by skilled craftsmen. While the Movement flowered throughout the U.S., Pasadena became a particularly strong center for Craftsman style design including architecture, art, and ceramics. International recognition of Craftsman expression in Pasadena has been accorded to the work of architects Charles and Henry Greene, tilemaker Ernest Batchelder, artists Elmer and Marion Wachtel, and writer/photographer Helen Lukens Gaut, among others. |
| |
| The Craftsman Weekend began in 1991 to provide a West Coast focus for interest in the Craftsman Movement and to highlight the unique and unparalleled Craftsman architecture and other resources available in Pasadena. Since its inception, it has grown to become one of two nationally prominent gatherings for those devoted to the Arts & Crafts Movement in the U.S. |
