Summer Kiln Opening 2024 Tour of Mark Hewitt Pottery barn/gallery presenting pots from Firing 111

Once a working farm building, the massive hay barn at the Mark Hewitt Pottery tucked at the end of the Johnny Burke Rd in Pittsboro, NC is now a stunning pottery gallery filled with the beautiful pottery from the recent firing of Mark's massive wood-burning kiln. This was Firing 111, and the 40th anniversary of the first firing of the kiln that Mark built in 1983 when he first came to NC, and then filled with pots and fired in the spring 2024.
There have been many changes to the late 19th century farmhouse and its outbuildings - renovations, gardens established, and thousands of finely handcrafted pots made and fired that now are enjoyed by people all over the globe.
This video is a sneak preview of the wonderful pots that will be available at the '2024 Summer Kiln Opening.' These are open studio events that happen only twice a year.

Good eye. We add salt at high temperature to the entire kiln, so yes - plenty of salt glaze pots!
