The Friends of the Wickson Library have generously sponsored our Fall Speaker Series! Join us for one or all three fascinating topics!
Monday, September 14: History of Detroit's Pewabic Pottery
Pewabic's 120-year history is as storied and vibrant as our many glazes. In this talk, Pewabic Education Events Coordinator, Alethea Davenport, presents exclusive historic images and stories from the pottery's impact on ceramics in Detroit and beyond.
Monday, October 12: Detroit Tigers with Tom Gage & Alex Avila
