Artwork Description

Mark Hewitt’s style is deeply rooted in the folk tradition of creating beautiful pots meant to be used for everyday activities. He uses earthy tones to glaze his stoneware vessels, which range in size from small bowls to monumental pots that can be used outdoors. Following in the folk tradition that he has inherited from English potters Bernard Leach and Michael Cardew, Hewitt uses local materials that root his pots in past styles but still allow them to reflect his current surroundings.
