ANNIE DENNIS PEWABIC POTTERY

Pewabic Pottery is a National Historic Landmark, founded in Detroit in 1903 by Mary Chase Perry, a successful china painter, and Horace Caulkins, a dental equipment supplier and kiln manufacturer. Today it continues to be an active working pottery, architectural tile studio, ceramic arts education center and vibrant cultural destination that attracts visitors from around the world.

NOLAN FINLEY and STEPHEN HENDERSON

One Detroit is Detroit Public TV’s weekly public affairs program with two-way engagement between co-hosts Nolan Finley and Stephen Henderson.

The celebrated journalists have been longtime friends, despite their different perspectives on pretty much everything. The one thing they agree upon is the importance of their friendship, including a healthy dose of mutual respect.

The duo promotes bringing people of opposing viewpoints together for healthy disagreement, personal interaction, and constructive conversations, and friendship despite opposing views.
