- **Event Description**: The Leach Sessions invite renowned international makers to share their approach with the wider Leach Pottery community. Each session offers a chance to learn directly from makers with a strong connection to material, process and tradition, while engaging with contemporary ways of making. The sessions create space for shared learning, conversation and hands-on making within the Leach Pottery’s working environment. 

Overview 
Across this 2-day workshop, Mark Hewitt will demonstrate how he makes thrown forms from smaller pots, such as mugs, to large planters. Through his series of demonstrations participants will gain insight into Mark’s techniques, then practice on wheels themselves under his guidance. 

Mark will demonstrate throwing and decorating techniques and help participants in their own making practice. Mark hails from Stoke-on-Trent and apprenticed with Michael Cardew but has been living and potting in North Carolina for over four decades. He’s an accomplished and well-known potter who's exhibited internationally. It's a real treat to have him come to the Leach Pottery as he doesn’t often lead workshops, particularly not on our side of the pond! 

Mark is known for his finely thrown, voluminous forms and slip decoration. He will demonstrate a range of shapes as well as some of his techniques for throwing large pots and some decorative techniques. Participants will have time on the wheel with hands on guidance to help improve their skills and explore slip decoration.
