Pewabic Pottery Factory

Now more than a century old, Pewabic Pottery reflects Mary Stratton's vision, which she expressed in these words: "It is not the aim of the Pottery to become an enlarged, systematized commercial manufactor in competition with others striving in the same way. Its idea has always been to solve progressively the various ceramic problems that arise in hope of working out the results and artistic effects which may happily remain as memorials....or at least stamp this generation as one which brought about a revival of the ceramic arts and prove an inspiration to those who come after us." Pewabic Pottery is one of three historic Arts & Crafts era potteries still in existence today. Founded in 1903 by Mary Chase Perry Stratton, Pewabic is nationally renowned for its handmade ceramic tile and vases in unique glazes. The Pottery has been designated a National Historic Landmark and offers custom design services, ceramics education classes, and an on-site museum. Free and open to the public 7 days/week.
