Twice a year, the Mark Hewitt Pottery in Pittsboro hosts an Open Studio event called a "Kiln Opening" and invites the public our to the pottery to see the newly fired kiln load of useful and beautiful, handmade pots. It’s a great chance to enjoy a day in the country, to see the pottery workshop and massive wood kilns, and to shop for local, handcrafted pottery for yourself or for a gift in the large barn/ showroom.
