CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF JUNE CLARE MAbarak
THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 2026
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM IN OUR EDUCATION STUDIO
Join us as we celebrate the life of June, a prolific maker, student, and cherished member of the Pewabic Education Studio. For more than 40 years, June inspired us all with her love of clay and dedication to sharing her art with those lucky enough to know her.
If you have received ceramic art from June over the years, we encourage you to bring it with you. We plan to photograph personal collections for our archives during the celebration.
Let's share memories and good food together in honor of the lasting mark June has made on our community.
