The announcement that Jonathan Adler is partnering with Michaels has brought a designer sensibility into the craft aisle. Beginning April 17, shoppers will find an exclusive assortment that threads Modern American Glamour through categories from entertaining to finishing touches for the home. This collaboration aims to make high-style ideas approachable: think pieces that read like boutique décor but are priced and packaged for everyday creativity.
At its core the range emphasizes two complementary goals: offering ready-made style that can instantly elevate a room, and delivering DIY opportunities so customers can personalize objects themselves. The assortment includes official craft kits, unfinished forms meant for customization, elevated partyware, and signature home accents that echo Jonathan Adler’s playful color palette and bold motifs. Together, these elements are designed to support projects small and large—from a refreshed mantel to a themed celebration.
What the collection includes
The collection spans several shopper needs. First, Michaels will carry exclusive craft kits that translate Adler’s aesthetic into hands-on projects, ranging from guided crafts to diamond art and more. Second, the line introduces unfinished surfaces—sculptural silhouettes and basics intended as a starting point for personalization. These pieces provide structure and proportion so crafters can focus on finishes, color, and texture rather than form. Third, party and entertaining items offer statement-making tableware and accents that bring a sense of glamour to gatherings without the fuss of sourcing multiple specialty retailers.
DIY and personalization
One standout feature is the emphasis on unfinished surfaces and customizable elements. By offering solid, thoughtfully designed bases, the collaboration gives makers a framework for expression: paint, glaze, fabric, and hardware choices become the variables that create a unique object. The approach invites customers who may be new to crafting to experiment while giving experienced makers a high-quality canvas. In every category, the products are intended to bridge the gap between mass retail and bespoke design through approachable personalization.
Why this partnership matters
This alliance brings a high-profile designer voice into a national arts-and-crafts destination, expanding access to curated style. Michaels operates more than 1,300 stores and an extensive online presence, and by placing Adler’s motifs within that network the collaboration democratizes design—making it possible for a wide audience to shop pieces inspired by a well-known studio. The partnership was arranged to help customers at different points in the creative process, whether they are refreshing a room, planning an event, or starting a weekend project.
Designer intent and retail strategy
Jonathan Adler, who built his brand on ceramics and evolved into a global design house, framed this project as a return to hands-on making. He positioned himself as a maker first and wanted to bring favorite colors and patterns to a broad audience. For Michaels, integrating a signature aesthetic into accessible price tiers supports the retailer’s mission to fuel creativity and celebration—offering inspiration, tools, and value in one place. The result is a curated bridge between studio design and everyday crafting.
Availability and who will love it
The Jonathan Adler x Michaels collection will be available in Michaels stores and online at Michaels.com and Michaels.ca beginning April 17. The range is aimed at diverse tastes: collectors who appreciate iconic patterns, hostesses seeking elevated entertaining pieces, and DIY enthusiasts looking for designer-led project kits. Price points are intended to be approachable so customers can mix ready-made accents with personalized projects without a large investment.
For shoppers eager to explore, Michaels will also feature styling inspiration and digital content to demonstrate ways to use the pieces—whether for a seasonal refresh or a custom gift. Following @michaelsstores on social platforms will surface images, tutorials, and launch updates. In short, the collection is built to nudge more people into hands-on creativity while delivering the graphic punch and playful elegance that have become synonymous with Jonathan Adler.

The collaboration is positioned as both a practical resource for makers and a design-forward shortcut for anyone who wants to add a curated, glamorous touch to their home.
