Mark Hewitt is a renowned British-born potter known for his unique blend of traditional English and North Carolina folk pottery techniques. He has become a key figure in American ceramics, particularly within the Southern pottery community. Hewitt's work is characterized by large-scale wood-fired stoneware pieces, such as jugs, pots, and vases, that blend functional design with artistic beauty. His pottery often features ash glazes and salt glazes, techniques inspired by the 19th-century Southern pottery tradition, as well as by his background in British studio pottery. Hewitt studied under Michael Cardew, a major figure in English studio pottery, and moved to North Carolina in the 1980s, drawn by the region's rich clay and historic pottery tradition. His workshop, Mark Hewitt Pottery, is located in Pittsboro, North Carolina, where he and his apprentices create pieces known for their craftsmanship, elegance, and utility. His work has been exhibited widely in the U.S. and internationally, and he has contributed significantly to the resurgence of wood-fired pottery in American craft.
