Visiting Artist: Mark Hewitt

October 10th-11th, 10am-5pm each day

Born in England, Mark Hewitt has been making wood fired pots using locally sourced materials in Pittsboro, NC since 1983. He’s known for his large planters, jars, and vases combining a contemporary style that merges various traditions, including English, North Carolinian, and those from his travels in Asia and Africa.

Join Mark for this 2-day workshop as he demonstrates a variety of throwing techniques, ranging from small items to his large signature vessels. Learn the tricks to throwing thin-walled pots quickly and proficiently.  Handles, feet, and slip decoration will also be discussed.
