Akin is excited to announce that we have a new staff member! Janet Hinkle of Hinkleville Handmade is now a part of the Akin team and will be managing the Akin Ossington studios. Welcome Janet!

Janet is a small batch ceramicist and has had a studio with Akin since 2015. Originally at Akin Dufferin, Janet moved to Akin Ossington when the location opened in July 2017. She is very excited to expand her role within the Akin community and is looking forward to new opportunities to learn and collaborate with other creatives.

Janet's colourful, small-batch ceramic line Hinkleville Handmade has been charming people since it's inception in 2015 with delightful ceramic vessels, decorations, jewelry and more which are sold in stores, online and at events and markets around Ontario. Her work is heartwarming, whimsical and memorable.
