One pottery class did it
Mollie Jenkins is a potter in Columbus, Georgia, making functional dinnerware under her own name since 2016. She took her first pottery class as a senior in high school, got hooked on the wheel, and went on to major in ceramics at Auburn. She started the business in Nashville and moved it home to Columbus the following summer. “I can look at a hunk of clay,” she says, “and in two weeks know it’ll be a useable, functional, and tangible product.”
Antique White
Everything is thrown on the wheel in stoneware and glazed by hand, so the surface shifts a little from piece to piece — her own listings tell you to expect that rather than apologize for it, which is the correct position. Antique White is the glaze she’s making now.
Garden & Gun got there in 2017
Garden & Gun named Mollie Jenkins Pottery a runner-up in the Home category of its 2017 Made in the South Awards, the same year she moved the studio back to Columbus. She was twenty-four. What caught their eye wasn’t a bowl but a lamp — something she’d started making the year before, after her mother left a box of spare lamp parts lying around the house. “I figured I’d give it a whirl.”
Mollie Jenkins
Mollie Jenkins makes functional dinnerware in Columbus, Georgia — plates, bowls, mugs — thrown on the wheel in stoneware and finished in earthy glazes. She took one pottery class as a high school senior, majored in ceramics at Auburn, and founded the studio in 2016.
She built it first in Nashville, then moved operations home to Columbus the following summer, where she still makes the dinnerware herself. The pieces are made to be used: a chili bowl that goes in the oven, a gathering bowl big enough for a side dish for six, plates meant for a Tuesday rather than the china cabinet.
