These are difficult times. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to grow, and we know it will be a long time before anyone sees the end of it. This crisis is challenging individuals, businesses and nonprofits, including Pewabic. As you contemplate this crisis, please remember three things:

We are all in this together.

We’ll get through it.

Art can help.

The very scope of this pandemic reminds us that we are part of a global community. It will take a concerted effort from all...

Big thanks to Hour Media's Detroit Design magazine for recognizing two Pewabic installations in their recently announced 2020 Detroit Home Design Awards.

Pewabic couldn’t be more thrilled about the recent announcement of Marie Woo being named the 2020 Kresge Eminent Artist. The educator and ceramicist is a former Pewabic Society trustee and longtime advocate for and friend of the pottery, particularly the Education Studio. 

Pewabic’s relationship with Michigan State University dates back to the 1920s, when Pewabic tile began to appear throughout the Lansing campus. Some 40 years later, the connection became even more meaningful when MSU played a vital role in Pewabic’s very existence. 

If you’re headed to Raku Party Saturday, one of the faces you’re sure to see is Steven Kin, Pewabic Street Team technician. Like everyone in our Education Studio, Raku Party has a soft spot in his heart. 

Read about Kin's mission to create this #Pottober. 

If you didn’t catch Pewabic Designer Genevieve Sylvia talking about our iconic pottery with WJR’s iconic radioman Paul W. Smith and Bedrock CEO Bill Emerson Sunday as part of Detroit Month of Design — good news — you can listen to the podcast.

José Arenivar-Gomez was on the job less than a week when he submitted a few of his ceramic sculptures for consideration in the annual staff and student exhibition. Not only did juror Kenyon Hansen select his work to be in the show, he named Not in the Mood best of show.

Now visitors can better experience the wide array of Pewabic tile profiles and color palettes in our newly renovated tile showroom, making it easier than ever to get started on an architectural job, no matter the style or size.
