For thirty-seven years, 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.
You can find a lovely selection of his finely crafted pottery in our barn/showroom. We are open by appointment ~ please call 919-542-2371, or email sales@hewittpottery.com to set up a time. We follow COVID guidelines, and our large open barn/showroom makes physical distancing easy.
You can also shop online.
Our next firing, Firing 105, is in late May, and our Summer Kiln Opening Sale is during the first two weeks of June. Sign up here to get a postcard and/or email with exact dates and times.
Thank you for your 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.

I received the mug I ordered yesterday. When I picked up the box, it was so light that I thought you had forgotten to include the mug. It was there, and it is the lightest mug I have ever used!
I’m looking forward to owning more of your truly wonderful pots. Thank you.

My wonderful tumbler arrived safely on Tuesday and it is even better than the picture! Thank you. I am so pleased to own several of your larger pots and display them proudly.
Wish you were closer and I look forward to the day that I can come back and visit your peaceful property.

The vases arrived at week’s end in great condition – thanks to the excellent packing and easy transaction.
Both are already being put to good use, as you will see below. Love them!
