Tour + Hands-On Workshop
Plan my tour
Explore the history and process of making ceramics at Pewabic with a guided tour and hands-on workshop led by one of our docents. Best for groups of 10 or more, these tours and workshops must be arranged in advance.
"So happy to have finally toured Pewabic Pottery! This Detroit landmark has been on my bucket list for some time now. As we were told the history of Pewabic, we were guided through the lovely Tudor-style building that houses examples of the architectural tiles and ceramics. Also interesting is to see artisans at work and learn about the process. Be prepared, because you'll most likely want to buy a piece to take home with you from the store. Our tour also included a fun workshop where we made our own tile. The tour including the workshop was about 2 hrs."
