"
Mark Hewitt uses local clay and traditional North Carolina pottery techniques including salt glaze, ash glaze and pressing glass into the thrown pieces before firing to create distinctive colors and patterns.
Hewitt is the third generation of his family to be involved with ceramics, his father and grandfather were directors of Spode Pottery Stoke-on-Trent, England.  He spent three years as an apprentice in Michael Cardew's studio in England and continued his independent study traveling to potteries in West Africa, Taiwan, Korea and Japan finally settling in America.
"In 1983 Hewitt established a pottery in North Carolina. He built a 900 cubic foot wood kiln to fire oversized jars and planters and a wide range of functional domestic wares. The kiln is fired with approximately 2000 pots three times a year.” [adapted from themarksproject.org]
