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...

Looking toward the Future

Looking toward the Future

Normally, stumbling across a pile of brick debris is an unwelcome surprise when you work at a National Historic Landmark. But last Wednesday was anything but normal for Steve McBride, executive director of Pewabic, when he found himself peering through a fresh hole in the wall. Through it, a work crew from Sachse Construction looked back from a freshly painted building, as though they were time travelers sent from Pewabic’s future.

New Mural transforms the Pewabic Courtyard

New Mural transforms the Pewabic Courtyard

To celebrate 115 years of ceramic craftsmanship at Pewabic, Detroit muralist Mike Burdick and sign artist Kelly Golden created a 20-by-30 foot mural depicting the stages of the clay making process. The design includes images of artisans mixing clay, making molds, pressing tiles, glazing and loading kilns under the watchful eye of Pewabic co-founder Mary Chase Perry Stratton.

The Colorful Progression of Susanne Stephenson

The Colorful Progression of Susanne Stephenson

At Susanne Stephenson’s retrospective, TRANSFIGUREMENT, a newcomer to her art might be challenged to determine the starting point  — her entire body of work is that good. A closer look reveals Stephenson’s evolution from fine, somewhat delicate porcelain pieces to an ingrained earthiness in more expansive terra cotta forces of nature: A progression from subtle and functional at the start to a crescendo of explosive and sculptural, with colors deeply woven throughout her story.

Main Attractions

Main Attractions

No doubt about it: The Detroit Public Library’s Main Library on Woodward opposite the DIA is one of Detroit’s most iconic buildings. A peek inside reveals museum-level artwork, including a Pewabic installation so magical that on a recent evening tour a couple became engaged underneath the sparkle of the iridescent loggia ceiling. It’s no wonder visitor after visitor told Barbara Madgy Cohn that they wanted a book about the historic building.

Empty Bowls Helps Fill Community

Empty Bowls Helps Fill Community

No one’s crazy about the prospect of standing in line. Outside. In February. But Empty Bowls isn’t just any line. This line helps feed the community.

Saturday marks Pewabic’s 26th annual fundraiser to benefit Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan, where buying a handcrafted bowl means performing a good deed with the added bonus of top-notch soup. It’s a bowl runneth over kinda thing.

SOLANUS CASEY COMMEMORATIVE TILE CELEBRATES BEATIFICATION

SOLANUS CASEY COMMEMORATIVE TILE CELEBRATES BEATIFICATION

Father Solanus Casey, the revered Detroit priest whose beatification Saturday brings him one step closer to sainthood, lived and died within five years and two miles of Pewabic, where founder Mary Chase Perry Stratton became well known for a ceramics prowess that included ecclesiastical installations. Commissioning Pewabic to create a tile commemorating the rare milestone seemed fitting to Lisa Stefoff, store manager of the Solanus Casey Gift Shop, located in the Detroit center that bears his name.
