Business Owner

Hi! I’m Antoinette Gaskins Mattingly, owner and ceramic artist here at Kinnakeet Clay. I’d like to tell you a little bit about my world… ours is a welcoming and laid back place, so go ahead, get comfy and stay a while.

Kinnakeet Clay — Studio & Showroom is proof that great things can come in small packages. In 2011, after eight years of traveling to art shows, I made a decision to stay home and open a shop to showcase my work. Where better than right here in my home village of Avon (historically known by the old Indian name, Kinnakeet)? With the help of my good friend, the super-​creative Beth Hayes, I set about creating a comfy and welcoming store. Our goal is to catch your breath as you walk through the door. We want you to love to stay and explore, to get excited about the layers of high-​quality, handmade treasures and to feel at home in our ‘salt-​crusted, vintage beach cottage’ inspired shop.
