Join the Sindecuse Museum for an in-person lecture by Pewabic's Education Director & Archivist, Annie Dennis, as she discusses the 120-year history of Detroit's iconic Pewabic Pottery. 

The presentation will take place twice on September 29th. The first presentation begins at 2:30 PM, with a repeat of the lecture occurring at 5:00 PM.

Guests should assemble in the Kellogg Auditorium on the ground floor of the University of Michigan's School of Dentistry.

Step inside one of Detroit’s most celebrated architectural treasures for an unforgettable journey through the Cathedral of Finance, the iconic Guardian Building.

Led by a Pewabic expert, this exclusive tour uncovers the building’s extraordinary decorative tile work–featuring a rich blend of historic tile manufacturers woven throughout its soaring interiors.  

A Pewabic expert will guide you through the iconic tile installations at The Cathedral Church of St. Paul. These designs were the first to incorporate Pewabic's notable iridescent-glazed tiles.

Proceeds from these tours directly support Pewabic's mission and the maintenance of the Cathedral's over-century-old building.
