CERAMIC WORKSHOP IN TUSCANY June 2013

Program-details-La-Meridiana-1“Sweetening the Pot” Ceramic workshop in Tuscany led by Mark Hewitt!

La Meridiana, International School of Ceramics in Tuscany

June 2nd – 15th , 2013

Please join Mark as he shares as much of his knowledge about throwing, form, decoration, and firing as he can fit into his first-ever two week workshop!

In addition to making pots there will be many fine meals, with long lunches and side excursions featuring Tuscan food and wine tastings. Pots and food: what could be better?!

Potters of all levels, and non-potters, are welcome. We’re hoping to bring a large contingent of our friends and customers with us, and we’d love for you to be one of them!

Mark would love to talk with you about this exciting trip. Just give him a call 919-542-2371, or email.

"The vision of North Carolina pottery that Hewitt conveys in his writing and work is audacious and compelling. He talks the talk and walks the walk: in doing so, he has bent inherited tradition into potent new shapes. His big-hearted pots are on a truly heroic scale - heroic in conception and execution. They place him in the company of the great folk potters who have preceded and inspired him."

–Chris Benfey, in the catalogue, "Mark Hewitt's Big-Hearted Pots," which accompanied an exhibition at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, University of New Orleans, January - April 2011.
