Welcome to Hinkle Creek Pottery
Hinkle Creek Pottery was established in 1999 by Lynn Barnwell and Rebecca McCalla (mother & daughter). We wanted to spend more time together with each other and took a pottery class. After the three day class we jumped in with both feet and little else to purchase two wheels and a kiln and transformed a corner of our garage into a studio. We have come a long way since that first start. Today we have 1400 square feet of studio space with lots and lots of equipment.
Most days you will find us working together with Rebecca's children right in the middle of all that we do. One of the aspects that appealed to us about our own studio was that it could be a family affair. We work around home school classes, football and church activities so you will find us working into the night to complete orders.
We love to take our wheels an demonstrate at locations around our area and use our skills given by God to promote his ministry. Lots of times you will find us at churches, women's group meetings, nursing homes, schools and local venues such as the Veranda House in Corinth, and demonstrations at our retail outlets.
Hinkle Creek Pottery can be found in Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee and Louisiana. Please stop in and visit with any of these stores that carry our pottery.
