Step away from your busy holiday schedule, and step into the Stickley family home for an early 20th century Christmas. The fun includes shopping for crafts and decorations, a photo station, scavenger hunt, crafts and more.

Activities:

Free Craftsmas Open House in Gustav Stickley’s Log House:
Decorated based on Gustav Stickley’s own ideas about the holidays as told through articles published in his magazine, The Craftsman, the Log House is decked out for the holiday season in period Arts & Crafts style. In The Craftsman, Stickley advocated for the use of natural decorations, promoted products and projects as appropriate and thoughtful gifts–from pottery to furniture to hand-made toys–and made recommendations for keeping the spirit of Christmas, both commercially and philosophically.

Holiday Shopping in The Craftsman Shop:
While you’re visiting, The Craftsman Shop promises a wonderful selection of contemporary arts & crafts and seasonal gifts, and decorations. Featuring many custom items, including a Motawi Tileworks Christmas Tree Tile in an exclusive colorway.

Crafts-Mas Photo Station and Photo Scavenger Hunt:
Keep a memory of your visit to the museum with a few Craftsmas photos at the Craftsmas Photo Station. Families are also welcome to participate in the Photo Scavenger Hunt, which highlights objects from the museum’s collection that would have been enjoyed during Christmas celebrations of the time.

Make a Clay Tile:
Visitors of all ages are welcome to create their own clay tile based on the colors, textures, and symbols of the winter season. 

50/50 Raffle:
When you purchase a 50/50 raffle ticket at the Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms, you’re not just entering to win; you’re supporting the museum’s mission to develop, demonstrate, and deepen connections between history, design, lifestyle, and the natural environment.
