California Arts and Crafts

The Arts and Crafts Movement flourished in a unique regional variant in California from about 1895 to 1930.  Predominant themes were garden and interior designs; architecture; tiles; pottery. Predominat differences that made California unique, aside from the standard Arts and Crafts movement, were Spanish and Asian influence.  The movement flourished in both Northern and Southern California, particulary in Pasadena and Berkley.
