Ceramics

I began thinking of myself as an artist when I was very young, although I had no notion that I would actually become a professional artist until much later. I have been fortunate to have traveled all over the globe, collecting artwork that spoke to me as I viewed and or touched it. I keep […]

I fell in love with pottery when I was eighteen, and a potter demonstrating how to throw on the wheel asked me if I would like to try. A decade passed before I was able to realize my dream of working with clay, and like many potters, I started my journey by using a potter’s […]

I have been making functional pottery for nearly 20 years and continue to be captivated by the possibilities in even the simplest cup. The process itself is a source of endless fascination, from slow moving treadle wheel and the application of silky slips and glazes to the soda firing that always surprises. All of this […]

All my life I have been drawn to art. My career as a medical illustrator spanned more than 30 years and I loved the intricacy and detail required for my artwork. Since retiring in 2001, I have chosen to express my artistry in clay because it offered the same opportunity for intricacy and detail plus […]

All pieces are lead-free, oven and dishwasher safe. My work is inspired by life on our farm where I live with my family and a variety of animals including […]

Mark Hewitt makes exquisite, wheel thrown, primarily functional pottery in a wide range of shapes and sizes.

The process of working with clay is alluring and even magical. I work for the satisfaction that comes from creating a well-balanced pot. It is not easy to achieve harmony between the shape of the pot, the glaze and the inner workings of the kiln, but when a great pot emerges there is nothing more […]

Colleen’s roots extend from Winnipeg, Canada to Pittsboro, NC. She has woven a tapestry of her life’s work through the subtle interplay of various art forms. Her journey began with dance as a child, providing a rhythmic foundation. In the 1980’s in San Francisco, Colleen discovered her affinity for Japanese Raku. Her creativity was enriched […]

My work in ceramics has slowly evolved over the years first starting out with low relief wall hangings of plants and animals, then changing to 3-D animal heads and now free standing animal sculptures.  I sometimes enjoy discovering the symbolism of an animal and in this way find an added layer of meaning which always brings an […]

I have been a Studio Potter for over 40 years, working primarily in functional high-fired stoneware and porcelain. My work has been featured in dozens of gallery shows, primarily on the East coast. For many years I also owned and operated a regional craft gallery in the Adirondack mountains of Northern New York. I currently […]

I have been a studio potter for over 50 years, and taught ceramics in academia for 33 years.  I retired in 2018 after 24 years running the clay program at Tennessee Technological University’s Appalachian Center for Craft, a satellite campus of TTU and part of the School of Art, Craft, and Design.  My wife Linda […]
