Pewabic Pottery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pewabic Pottery is a studio and school located in Detroit, Michigan, founded in 1903 by the artist and teacher Mary Chase Perry Stratton.

The word Pewabic, derived from the Chippewa word for the color of metal, refers to the unusual glaze covering the pottery and tiles created in a manner outlined by the Arts and Crafts Movement.

Listed as a National Historic Landmark, Pewabic Pottery continues to operate in a 1907 Tudor Revival building as a non-profit educational institution. They offer classes in ceramics, hold exhibitions, sell pottery made in house and offer design and fabrication services.

The work created by the studio can be found gracing numerous buildings throughout Michigan and the rest of the United States.
