Happy Clay
Monday, May 4, 2009
"Add some art to your alcohol - or elegance to your breakfast table."This picture shows a Storm Cloud tumbler with a red interior and gold lip. It can hold up to 12 ounces of liquid, but I might even use it to put candies or something in, because then I would be able to appreciate it more.
The creator, Niki Buckley Crosby, has an Etsy Shop called Happy Clay. She is originally from New Orleans, but finds herself now living in Pennsylvania after Hurricane Katrina. She has her own studio where she builds, creates custom molds, and slip casts her own designs out of stoneware and porcelain.
Of her finishing process, she says, "My glazing process consists of multiple firings using a combination of glazes I've mixed myself, commercial underglazes, my own custom made screen printed decals and typically finished off with a gold overglaze accent firing."
If you really dig her pieces you can e-mail or convo her for wholesale prices. She takes batch orders at wholesale prices for orders placed for 20 or more items.
For more inspiration and peeks into what Happy Clay has to offer you should check out her Flickr Photo Set.
When Niki takes time from casting, building, creating, molding and all that other happy clay stuff, she enjoys "online games of scrabble, occasional naps, bubble baths, daily house cleaning chores, phone calls with friends etc." And when she finally gets to glazing her pieces you'll hear funk, disco or maybe even Prince blaring through Pandora into her studio.
