We are so excited to again host our annual celebration at Starrlight Mead’s beautiful event hall. Pagans, allies, supervised children, seniors—all are welcome! More details to come, but please mark your calendars for our annual community celebration:)

Saturday, December 14 10-5pm Sunday, December 15 noon-5pm Enjoy a beautiful day in the country! Twice a year we fire over 1000+ pots in our massive wood kiln, or our gas kiln, and invite everyone to visit the pottery for a Kiln Opening! It’s a great chance to tour the pottery workshop, walk inside the massive kilns, and shop in our large barn/gallery/showroom for beautiful pottery for yourself or for the perfect gift. 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 ‘112’ so the pots will be stamped 112 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. Mark’s selection of ‘Big Pots’ – life-sized vases and jars – are also on display. Families are always welcome. We have swings! Image of Mark Hewitt Pottery Kiln Opening Can’t wait? Need a shopping appointment at a different time? Not to worry, we are happy to set up an appointment with you. Please call 919-542-2371 and listen for Carol’s cell number in the voice message, or email us at sales@hewittpottery.com. COVID guidelines: All staff are fully vaccinated and our large barn/showroom with open doorways is more like being outside than in, so masks at your discretion.
