Incredible historic landmark. There’s a little free museum upstairs that goes into the history of tile making and pottery in Detroit. The shop downstairs has a beautiful selection from many different artists with a good range of prices to accommodate any budget. We found some small tiles starting at $5 that made for a nice souvenir. I’m so glad we had time to drop in. I highly recommend a visit.

I am all for supporting artisans, particularly Detroit-based craftspeople. But I am all for good customer service as well, and at Pewabic apparently you can't have both. While in the store in Sept. I left my name and number and asked for a call when a $100 tile I wanted to give as a Christmas gift was in (they were out of stock). Weeks later I popped into the store only to be told that the 20 that were made had been bought by the Detroit Zoo and my name and number had been lost in the shuffle. I left my information with them again and called a couple weeks later; the person to whom I spoke had no idea who I was and no record of my TWO requests for the tile, so I paid for it over the phone ($106) and was told that the tile would be ready in plenty of time for Christmas. During EACH OF SIX ensuing phone calls I was placed on hold for extended periods because no one could find a record of my purchase without consulting others before promising to call me back, promising the tile would be ready. At one point I was told that they would fire three tiles and that I should call the W before Christmas to be sure at least one survived the kiln. When I spoke to a representative on W, she said that they never fire just three tiles and the employee who said they would was new and just "trying to please you." Well, I was NOT pleased to learn that I was being lied to and strung along to placate me in the short-term and ruin a Christmas surprise--and my opinion of this business--in the long term. There is no clear chain of command, no effective records system and no internal communication in this business. I will continue to enjoy the Pewabic tiles in my home but I will not add any others to my collection.

Was wonderful in the 80’s and 90’s. Now it’s too commercialized, too big and a dime a dozen. No longer anything quaint and unique. Mary Stratton must be turning over in her grave. Prices are ridiculous for mass produced clay pottery. No longer a place for everybody to go….only the very rich elites. Pass this place up, it’s a waste of time.

Great historic tile and earthware factory and shop. They produce top notch custom tiles on site. We really enjoyed the excellent tour of the factory which gave great insights into the creation of the tiles.

Such a fun, interesting & educational staff - and what a stunning collection of original art. The history of the location, and of the art form, are fascinating. Be sure to look for Julie or Kim - or both. Their warm welcome and professional expertise will delight you. I came home with gorgeous Pewabic soup bowls - unique pieces of art to enjoy around the table. My first visit, but not my last!

A staple of Detroit, it’s history and culture. If you’re in town and want to visit a beautiful building and store, or day dream about renovating your fireplace or bathroom, stop in to Pewabic - you will be delighted!

I have passed this place probably 10000 times in my life and finally stopped in. Glad I did. Super helpful staff gives some history and answers all my dumb questions. The front room is all stuff made on the premises, the back room is all stuff from around the world. Up stairs is the museum (also free). They have a design room with samples and ideas if you want custom tiles done. Very cool space! Highly recommend

We are in Detroit for a few days on summer vacation with our 4 children. My husband, an architect, was excited to visit the company that he has used many times in projects under his mentor and has continued to recommend and design with in his own practice. The building is beautiful, the pottery is so classic and warm, the young girls at the counter, not so much! Though they did give us a good chuckle about the parallels between them and his old boss Alan!!

The studio space is amazing with beautiful glazes but the pretentious vibe completely ruined the experience of taking classes there. On top of that, it takes a long time to get your pieces fired because they give priority to the professional potters. Great place to shop but I'd go elsewhere for classes.

Was gifted a Pewabic pint glass and it is everything I have heard and better! Keeps my beverage cool longer, and is a nice conversation piece! Going to head to the store to see what else I can get!

Great place to buy a special gift that says Detroit. They have much more than just tile. A truly historic gem that is always worth a visit. They have plenty of convenient and free parking whether you arrive by car or bike.

We love the wonderful pottery, especially the many Detroit and Michigan themed tiles to use as accent pieces in our backsplash.

Incredible space with beautiful, timeless pieces. The history behind Pewabic is what makes it so unique.

Outstanding working artists with a rich gallery and offerings of Pewabic Art

Went there on a weekend so there was no tour. The store was very nice but the pieces were expensive.

Stopped in yesterday to take a peak at the beautiful new inventory and the wonderful new tiles dedicated to Detroit with the Old English D, tiles as well as ornaments. I inquired about classes and the staff was very helpful, taking time to print the information sheet because none were available at the desk and brought them over to me as I browsed.

120 years of history! So beautiful. Very welcoming and friendly. There’s a tour now that goes through the making process. The outdoor market was a wonderful addition to this experience.

Kris was so helpful today, apparently I haven't been here in 7 years! I've been ordering online. Beautiful gifts and ornaments.

This place is amazing. I’ve only purchased items from here which came out stunning. I am looking forward to attending their classes one day.

Such beautiful tile & pottery! I was greeted by the sweetest lady when I walked in and she showed me around while explaining how each order is custom made. I’ll definitely order well ahead of time for my next project!

I love this place and the building, I’ve been a member several years, and I bring out of town visitors to see it. I especially love the Raku day in October. It’s a fun mix of art, science, and fire! Also, they have great customer service. Lauren in education helped me recently regarding a conflict in schedule I had with my registration for this year’s Raku event. I am excited for my next visit there before the holidays.

Very nice staff! Gained a great appreciation of what they do.

If you are wondering what to buy someone as a gift, consider Pewabic Pottery. Going here, you will invent reasons to give a gift! I love the Christmas ornaments.

Wonderful artists continue Detroit traditions in the modern day. From historic molds to new works, we love everything we have from Pewabic.

Be sure to check out the upstairs museum. It is an excellent time capsule of this amazing craft and how it has evolved and continues to inspire.

Everyone at Pewabic was awesome.They give you a list of three installers.The 1st charged 20 to come out.Said he would do it,never saw him again.2nd came out said would do it,gave 100 dollars,never saw again.Go with Dennis,got it done.Great work.

Went to the tile painting workshop. Made the visit even better

Awesome pottery and history. Great stop for tourists and locals

If you live in the Detroit area and have never been to Pewabic - this place is a MUST for your bucket list. I've been visiting there since I was in my late teens and never get tired of going. Truly a Detroit gem, a historic/cultural landmark, an absolute local treasure - a true working museum.

There are many reasons why they are celebrating 120 years in business. Good customer service, great selection of their pottery, and pottery from many other producers. Saturday events bring music and a food truck. I came for tile glazing class where you learn how they do that by choosing 1 of 3 styles and create a personal one by choosing from 8 of their glaze colors. Well worth the $50. Parking lot and the most upscale portapotty you will find. I will be back to spend too much but what they have is worth it.

Wonderful history of glazed ceramic tiles, housewares and keepsakes. I admire all the work and effort that has gone into keeping Pewabic Pottery alive and relevant, making a visit to their studio and showroom very rewarding. Pewabic is 2.5 hours away from our home in Ohio, and a joyful little escape. Great hours.

I live in Florida but was born and raised in Detroit. I come to Michigan every summer and visit the gallery every year. Absolutely love it and look forward to acquiring a new tile each year.

If you're looking for some unique and very local works of art then stop by the Pewabic store, museum, and workshops. I really enjoyed seeing the wide variety of works from various artists that work on site. A 45-minute tour is offered pretty regularly and a museum is located upstairs. I should note the prices are a bit high so budget for something nice. Also, its not possible reach it without a car.

The best part is walking in the back and witnessing the process of making their ware, art, and craft.

Great pottery studio that adds historic value to Detroit and to this area of Detroit. Everyone is really nice and friendly, and they let you step back and see where they make their pottery. They can also cater to larger commercial design projects as well. The store is slightly pricey, but some of the artists are not too expensive.

Had the opportunity to use the mobile unit at the Mollicone Park Field day. All the Pewabic people were GREAT and I love my bowl. Thank you so much.

It's always amazing, all of the beautiful pieces of art that has been made by human hands.

One of my favorite places in the city. We go out there as much as able. We love to buy these amazing historic pieces. Our Christmas tree has 4 years worth of the traditional yearly ornaments. I love pewabic.

We saw tiles from this pottery company on and in many beautiful buildings in Detroit, so we decided to pay a visit to their shop. The shop itself is housed in what used to be a residence and is a beautiful building. There is also a workshop where tiles are made. There are displays of various tiles and there are tiles and other items for sale. We spent approximately 90 minutes here and enjoyed it visit. Lots of history here and worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) Not to be missed if you are passing through the Straits: a mythical ceramic studio. A space out of time. You can bring back a few souvenirs and participate in workshops (be careful, it's taken by storm!) (Original) A ne pas rater si vous passez par détroit : un studio de céramique mythique. Un espace hors du temps. On peut rapporter qq souvenirs et y participer à des workshops (attention c’est pris d’assaut !)

Always a good for the soul place to visit. It has been part of me for my entire life. The people are great too.

Best place in Michigan if you love pottery. You really don't want to miss this place.

Very pretty tiles.

Came by for the Celtic weekend event, very kind people that showed us the facilities and were emotionally supportive when my friend dropped/broke a lid. Upstair is a very small gallery space, with mead/wine and fruit/cheese for this event. I hope to come back for the Friday $45 wine and throwing wheel lesson!

It was my first time coming to the gallery and museum. It was during their Spring exhibition and sale. The beauty and simplicity of the ceramic pieces is just outstanding.

Great place.

The pottery here is beautiful

Very nice little museum with a gift shop that has some beautiful pottery in it! The building's history is also cool and it is well maintained.

One of the true gems of Detroit. They're 100+ years old and responsible for just about all of the beautiful tile mosaics in the metro area and elsewhere too. There's a reason that real estate ads make a point of mentioning Pewabic tile when a house has it. If I had the money, I'd have them do my entire NYC kitchen and bathroom.

Wonderful place to shop for a special gift for yourself or someone else. The pottery , tiles etc just beautiful and are really works of art. Great place!!

Beautiful tile and pottery. The showroom has a wide variety of creative tiles and pottery.

Really like Pewabic Pottery. Merchandise is always interesting and good quality. The staff is also very pleasant and helpful every time I've been in.

Talking about beautiful. Pewabic is extraordinary craftsmanship. Many historic buildings were done by Pewabic. I love talking to the staff and learning new things. Nothing like a homemade gift.

Wonderful staff and an exquisite attention to detail in customer service!

Beautiful art answer larger selection in the shop than on line. Definitely, worth the visit and product.
