For over 150 years, Chester Hewell and his family have been making pottery using the traditional methods handed down through the generations from their ancestors.
Although Hewell's Pottery is one of the largest suppliers of horticultural ware to the eastern and mid-western states and Canada, the true love of Chester and the other members of The Hewell Family is producing 'old-timey', alkaline-glazed, Edgefield Pottery pieces.
Using the time-honored wood-fired kiln method, The Hewell Family turns out familiar, historical pieces, glowing with deep alkaline and ash glazes and distinctive decorative finishes produced using iron-slip and slip-trail techniques.
