Mark Hewitt Flask
Mark Hewitt is the scion of an old British ceramic family: both his father and grandfather were directors of Spode Pottery in Stoke-on-Trent. He chose to become a studio potter, however. He apprenticed with Michael Cardew in England, then studied pottery traditions in West Africa, Taiwan, Korea and Japan. After settling in North Carolina, Hewitt dove deeply into the traditional pottery techniques of the region. His own studio features a massive wood-kiln, fired three times a year, which can accommodate as many as 2000 pieces. Hewitt’s work can be seen in numerous public collections, including the American Museum of Ceramic Art, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
