Go See This: Hewitt Pottery Holiday Kiln Opening

a display of large ceramic pots lined up on a lawn in front of a studio building

“There’s a history behind having these kiln openings in North Carolina that goes back to the Moravians,” says Mark Hewitt. “There are even records of colonial militia men being called in to regulate the unruly pottery buying crowds back in the 1780s.”
