I Don’t Make a Living from My Jewelry Business
I'm just going to say it upfront: Anam Cara Clay Goods is not my primary income. My dad was a full-time artist his whole life, and I watched what that cost him. I made a different choice — and I want to talk about why that choice doesn't make this business any less real. If anything, it makes it more honest.
A Passion Born From Change
I was a chef before I was a jewelry maker. Before that I was someone who thought her life was mostly figured out. Then everything changed — a move, a community I didn't expect to love, a diagnosis, a surgery, a pandemic, a piece of clay. This is how Anam Cara Clay Goods actually started.
The Skirt Project Collection
I walked into Amanda Shrader's Brunch with Beauties event in 2022 not knowing quite what to expect — and walked out with connections that stayed with me and a friendship I didn't see coming. The Skirt Project Collection is my way of honoring the movement she's built, and every woman who has ever walked into one of her spaces and felt, maybe for the first time in a while, like she truly belonged.
