Photo courtesy of Hewitt Pottery Summer Kiln Opening Twice a year Mark makes and fires over 1000 lovely pots and invites everyone to his pottery for an Open Studio event called a Kiln Opening! It’s a great way to see the pottery workshop, the massive wood kilns, the showroom/barn, and shop for beautiful pottery while you enjoy a day in the country. Photo courtesy of Hewitt Pottery The shelves are full of beautiful mugs, tumblers, plates and bowls, elegant vases, pitchers, lidded jars, serving bowls, large platters and planters ~ all made by master potter, Mark Hewitt, and his current intern. All the pots are stamped with the firing number. This will be Firing ‘113’ of the big wood kiln, so the pots will be stamped 113 and the stamp of the potter who made them. Most of the pots have been made by master potter, Mark Hewitt, with a very small selection made by visiting potters. Several of Mark’s life-sized 'Big Pots’ – tall vases, jars and sentinels that were fired in this kiln – are also on display. Children are always welcome. There are swings!
