Pewabic Pottery is a small-to-mid-sized Detroit-based studio and retailer in the retail art supplies space, founded in 1903 by Mary Chase Perry Stratton and Horace Caulkins. Historically it produced vessels, tiles, and architectural ornamentation for public and private installations, and later added ceramic jewelry featuring iridescent glazes during the Depression era. Its Detroit facility was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1991, making Pewabic Michigan’s only historic pottery. The company serves institutions, designers, and individual ceramic enthusiasts seeking distinctive handmade wares and tile work, with Pewabic pieces installed in sites across the United States. In June 2026, Pewabic appointed Jim Leija as Executive Director, reflecting ongoing leadership and programming for its studio ceramics and tile arts.
