Join docents from the Gamble House for spotlight talks exploring the history, materials, and design of the Greene & Greene hearth.
In Greene & Greene’s work, as throughout the Arts and Crafts movement, fireplaces and their tools played practical, artistic, and symbolic roles. Docents from the historic Gamble House in Pasadena will explore the metalwork that the firm designed for the hearth of the home.
Informal talks will take place at 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 1:30 p.m.
