CAM's Collection

Mark Hewitt

(American, b. England, 1955)

Mark Hewitt’s work was featured in the courtyard when CAM opened in 2002. Mark Hewitt is an English studio potter living in the small town of Pittsboro, North Carolina outside of Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

In 2015 he received a United States Artist Fellowship, for contributions to the creative landscape and arts ecosystems of the country. He is known for his functional pottery and especially for his large scale wood-fired, salt-glazed ceramic pots, known as "monster pots."

His work is influenced by Asian pottery, African pottery, North Carolina pottery, and especially the English pottery of Bernard Leach.

See Mark Hewitt's Bad Seed, 2004 now on view as part of 20 Years!
