Keeping Pace with Making our Place

Keeping Pace with Making our Place

Steve McBride wore a wide smile as he quietly watched Pewabic Designer David McGee set the last tile in the fountain face: “I’ve waited four years for this.”

It was the almost-final touch on renovations to the National Historic Landmark’s courtyard, a space McBride had long wished to make more inviting.

Last autumn, his wish was granted thanks to the Southeast Michigan Placemaking Pilot Initiative. The William Davidson Foundation provided funding to Project for Public Spaces (PPS) to administer a capacity-building program for its grantees focused on placemaking activations. Through this effort, PPS provided design services and implementation funds to Pewabic for the new courtyard.

Connecting with U.P. Maker and Educator Kenyon Hansen

Connecting with U.P. Maker and Educator Kenyon Hansen

Kenyon Hansen is all about making connections, and he felt a connection to Pewabic long before ever setting foot inside the building.

Last week was his first time not just at the pottery, but in Detroit, though he’s long known about Pewabic founder Mary Chase Perry (Stratton). He grew up a stone’s throw from her birthplace and childhood home in Hancock, Mich. And once Hansen became a potter, that connection strengthened even more.

The Finlandia University visiting artist came to Pewabic to jury the Maker/Mentor exhibition, lead a workshop for Education Studio students and deliver his studio work to make its Pewabic House & Garden Show debut June 6-9.

Mary Chase Perry Stratton's 152nd birthday

Mary Chase Perry Stratton's 152nd birthday

Pewabic founder Mary Chase Perry Stratton turns a spry 152 years old today. We can only imagine what she’d think of today’s world, but we like to think that she’d be pleased that her pottery on East Jefferson is still a bastion of artisans dedicated to creating handcrafted tiles and ware and continue to encourage a love of ceramics.

We Heard You: Frost Isn't Going Anywhere

We Heard You: Frost Isn't Going Anywhere

When we introduced our Frost glaze last November, our original intention was for it to join Winterberry as a seasonal holiday glaze. We’ve reconsidered, and it’s sticking around as part of our year-round glaze palette.

WDET's Essential Pewabic Experience

WDET's Essential Pewabic Experience

It doesn't get much more Detroit than radio icon Ann Delisi hosting a WDET/Pewabic benefit at our National Historic Landmark.

We. Can't. Wait.

We'll have eats by Molly Mitchell of Rose's Fine Food, who might just offer up a taste of her Polish-inspired West Village bakery and restaurant slated to debut later this fall. Ferndale's Axle Brewing will be pouring the beer and the playlist will be 100% Delisi, of course...

The Pewabic Stein is set to make a hoppy entrance

The Pewabic Stein is set to make a hoppy entrance

It didn’t take much arm-twisting to persuade a small contingent of Pewabic employees to head to Eastern Market Brewing Company in Detroit to learn more about the small batch beer made with Pewabic in mind.

“Kiln Bier” will be available to purchase in our courtyard biergarten in celebration of the launch of our new Pewabic Stein, 12-6 PM Sat. Sept. 22...

A conversation with Henry James Haver Crissman

A conversation with Henry James Haver Crissman

If you’ve had the opportunity to experience recent work by Henry James Haver Crissman, chances are you’ve already got his number.

Literally.

That’s by design because Crissman often incorporates his telephone number somewhere into his work. His art is interactive; a social engagement art experience...

Visitors Can Connect with Pewabic Through Time & Space

Visitors Can Connect with Pewabic Through Time & Space

Any archivist or museum curator will likely tell you: Making historic artifacts tangible and interactive – particularly inherently fragile ones – can be a challenge. Take it from Kimmie Dobos, curator of the new historic exhibition, Pewabic Through Time & Space, now in the upstairs galleries through October 21.

Dobos had a mission to connect visitors with Pewabic’s rich 115-year history as an operating pottery through to its still-thriving present day...

Maker/Mentor 2018 Featured Artist: Neil Laperriere

Maker/Mentor 2018 Featured Artist: Neil Laperriere

Neil Laperriere was only about four years old when he tagged along with his older sister to a class at Pewabic. He worked diligently to create a colorful Haitian Skink lizard like the one they had at home. He thought he nailed it.
 
"I was super proud of it. In my little kid mind, it came out perfectly. It was a masterpiece. Until it was fired in the kiln. That’s kind of where the story begins,” says Laperriere, who years later came to work at Pewabic and now is Quality Control Specialist. “I had everything right, everything the way I wanted it to be, but clay has a mind of its own...
