Holiday Kiln Opening!
Open Studio dates
New pots from Firing 106 will fill our barn/ showroom for our Holiday Kiln Opening! starting on Black Friday, Nov 26 and running for three weekends ~ a chance to tour the pottery workshop & kilns, and to shop. Exact dates and times here.
Since 1983, Mark has been making beautiful, functional and decorative pots using locally sourced materials, and firing them in a large wood-burning kiln here in Pittsboro, NC. We carry a lovely selection of his finely crafted pottery in our barn/showroom.
Outside of Kiln Opening weekends, we are open by appointment to visit and shop. Please call 919-542-2371, or email sales@hewittpottery.com to set up a time. Staff is fully vaccinated, and our large barn/showroom is more outdoors than in. You can also shop online.
Sign up to get a postcard and/or email to be notified of the exact dates and times of our holiday hours. Thank you for your loyal patronage.
Mark makes his pots with regional clays and glaze materials, and usually fires them in one of two very large wood burning kilns. On rare occasions he fires pots in a large gas kiln. All the pots made at the pottery are identified by maker, kiln, and a chronological time line.
Mark was awarded a United States Artist Fellowship in 2015 for contributions to the creative landscape and arts ecosystems of the county, and was a finalist for the 2015 Balvenie Rare Craft Award for contributions to the maintenance and revival of traditional or rare craft techniques. In 2014 he was awarded a Voulkos Fellowship at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts in Helena, MT, for his outstanding contributions to the ceramic arts.
