Handmade Polymer Clay

Little pieces of joy,
shaped by hand.

Colorful, hypoallergenic polymer clay earrings — plus one-of-a-kind clay art pieces — all handmade in my home studio. Every piece carries a bit of my story of healing, creativity and the peace I find in clay.

Meet the Maker

Hello, I'm Sarah — welcome to my little corner of the world.

“What started as a hobby to help me heal turned into so much love and joy that I had to share it.”

This is my journey to find peace, tranquility and maybe even be my own boss one day. I started creating with polymer clay shortly after I was diagnosed with recurring pericarditis at the end of 2020 — a way to entertain myself while learning to live with a debilitating illness.

After my last open heart surgery, I really got more into creating and trying to find ways to provide for my family, even with everything I was dealing with. Clay is what I landed on, and it's something I love sharing with friends, family — and now you.

I hope you love what I've created and share it with the people you love. Every pair of earrings in the shop was hand-shaped, baked and finished right here in my home studio.

From soft pastel hearts to bold neon swirls, every design starts as a raw slab of polymer clay and ends as a tiny wearable piece of color and joy.

Ask Sarah

Yes. Every pair is made with hypoallergenic, nickel- and lead-free posts and hooks, so they feel gentle even on very sensitive ears.

Every single pair. I hand-shape the clay, bake it, sand and finish it, then assemble the hardware right here in my home studio. Small imperfections and slight variations are part of the handmade charm.

Polymer clay is lightweight and durable but not indestructible. Store your earrings flat or in a soft pouch, keep them away from perfume and lotion, and avoid dropping them on hard surfaces.

Absolutely. Custom pairs are one of my favorite things to make. Send me a note through the contact form with the colors, shape and style you have in mind and I will follow up with details and a timeline.

Ready-to-ship pairs typically leave the studio within a few business days. Custom pieces take a little longer depending on complexity — I will always share an estimated timeline when your order is confirmed.

Yes! Small boutiques, bridal parties and gift bundles are all welcome. Reach out through the contact form with what you have in mind and I will follow up.
