History
Mar-Lyn Ceramics is a family owned and operated business that opened for business in the fall of 1971. After Martha Hood and her daughter Lynne took a ceramics class, they decided to open a small shop on the back porch of their house. The shop soon outgrew that location and was moved in 1977 into the old coca-cola bottling building, our current location, at 307 W Main Street. Martha was joined by her husband, Emmett, after he retired from the USDA. After college and working away for a while, Lynne returned to work at the shop in 1980. Daughter, Marcie, also worked several years in the 80's-90's before retiring.
Upon Martha and Emmett's retirement from ceramics around 1998, Lynne's husband David came to work at the ceramic shop. Now, their children, Travis and Tyler also work part time. Long time employee Amy Williams also works at Mar-Lyn.
