OUR HISTORY

Pewabic Pottery was founded in 1903 by Mary Chase Perry (Stratton), an artist and educator, and Horace J. Caulkins, a dental supplier and kiln manufacturer. Pewabic became a leader of the Arts & Crafts movement in Detroit during a time that was both a golden age for handcrafted pottery and tile and a boom in industrialization with the birth of the automotive industry.

PEWABIC TODAY

Pewabic has about 50 employees working to enrich the human spirit through our handcrafted ceramic art, architectural tile and educational programs, and by sharing our rich legacy with students, customers and the community.
