WDET STAR: Pewabic Pottery

pewabic

Pewabic Pottery is a Detroit gem and a National Historic Landmark. It celebrates 109 years in business this Saturday (3/10/12) by giving visitors free tours and a first look at the recently restored historic chimney.

Executive director Terese Ireland, who'll soon retire after 14 years at Pewabic, says that one of the things Pewabic always celebrates is that it was founded as an independent business by a woman -- that'd be Miss Mary Chase Perry -- more than a century ago.

A special birthday party event is planned from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The public is invited to attend the free celebration, which will feature complimentary guided tours, demonstrations, birthday cake, refreshments and hourly door prize giveaways.

Guided tours will begin at 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. and will feature a first look at the nonprofit’s new history tour plaques, which were purchased through funding from the Michigan Humanities Council and a National Endowment for the Humanities grant. In addition, guests will have a chance to see the pottery’s recently restored 105-year-old historic chimney.
