Pewabic Neighborhood studio
coming soon to the neighborhood
Pewabic Pottery is excited to introduce the Pewabic Neighborhood Studio, a new community ceramics space that expands opportunity for creativity, collaboration, and accessibility on Detroit’s east side.
Located at the Cadillac Arts Centre in the Little Village cultural corridor, the Pewabic's Neighborhood Studio will serve as a hub for community-based arts programming, anchored by a partnership with the Progressive Art Studio Collective (PASC) and designed to foster new collaborations with organizations, artists, and neighbors. The fully accessible space creates new opportunities to welcome participants of all abilities while supporting a broader range of community-centered programs and partnerships.
The Pewabic Neighborhood Studio complements Pewabic’s historic campus by expanding access and strengthening connections within the community. Pewabic historic education studio is not moving and will continue to operate as it does today, while the Pewabic Neighborhood Studio provides additional space to grow partnerships, increase accessibility, and further Pewabic’s educational mission.
"The Pewabic Neighborhood Studio gives us the opportunity to think even more expansively about access, creativity, and how we serve our community. This new fully accessible studio creates more opportunities for people of all abilities to experience ceramics, while giving us room to grow new programs and new ways of engaging with our neighbors. We’re especially excited to do that alongside PASC and as part of the remarkable energy taking shape within the Little Village cultural corridor.”
Jim leija, Pewabic Executive Director
"For more than 120 years, Pewabic has connected people through clay. The Pewabic Neighborhood Studio represents an exciting new chapter in that legacy - creating a welcoming, fully accessible space where more people can experience ceramics, build community, and engage with the creative process. As we continue to grow our partnerships and expand access to the arts, this new studio reflects our ongoing commitment to making ceramics education and creative opportunities available to all."
Annie Dennis, Pewabic Education Director
