Arden Studio Art Tours Saturday, June 8 from 10 AM-4 PM. Raindate is Sunday, June 9th. 

The Arden Artisan Collective, established in 2022, champions the diverse talents thriving within the Ardens community. Rooted in the Arts & Crafts tradition since its inception in 1900, the Ardens have fostered a lineage of artisans, and this June marks a significant milestone as these makers open their doors to the public after nearly a decade. Visitors will have the rare opportunity to explore the intimate spaces where creativity flourishes, immersing themselves in the authentic Arden way of life. From painting studios to woodworking workshops, and from a chocolatiers’ atelier to an outdoor sculpture garden, guests can tailor their own tour, experiencing firsthand the rich tapestry of artisanal endeavors. Start off the journey at the Arden Craft Shop Museum, delving into the community's storied maker heritage. At this stop, you can pick up a map of the stops along the tour. Throughout the event, artisans will showcase their work, offering visitors the chance to acquire unique pieces directly from the creators.
