Atlantic Surf Clam Polymer Clay: Coastal Artisan Blend, Assateague Shells

$15.00



The Atlantic shore preserved in clay.
This Atlantic Surf Clam Clay blends Sculpey III with natural clam shell fragments hand-foraged along the beaches of Assateague, Maryland. The fragments add pearly tones, sandy textures, and a coastal shimmer that reflects the tides of the Atlantic.

Assateague is known for its windswept barrier island ecology, where shifting sands and shell beds create a living shoreline. The clam fragments lend subtle greys, whites, and buff tones, carrying the spirit of the Mid-Atlantic coast into every block.

Fired, the clay reveals delicate speckles and flecks of natural shell, evoking the beach at low tide.

Available in three formats:
- 2 oz block – compact sample infused with clam shell
- 8 oz block – extended quantity for larger sculptural projects
- 2 oz Sunburst Clay + Mold Set – includes a reusable mold to shape the clay into a radial sunburst, accentuating shell flecks in fired form

Details:
- Choose 2 oz, 8 oz, or 2 oz Sunburst Clay + Mold
- Polymer blend (Sculpey III base + surf clam fragments)
- Foraged along Assateague Island, Maryland
- Coastal, one-of-a-kind, small batch artisan clay

Frequently Asked Questions

Imperfections, Shipment, and Custom Pieces

All pieces are handmade and one-of-a-kind. Pieces may have small imperfections, dimples, and blemishes. I try to be sure blemishes are included in the item’s photographs. Please keep this in mind as you order.

Pottery is fragile, so I package my pots carefully to avoid any items breaking in shipment. Sometimes, this can mean a large amount of shipping material is used. Boxes, shrink wrap, shredded paper, and bubble wrap are recyclable. Packing peanuts are biodegradable. Please recycle/biodegrade if possible!

Custom pieces can take about 4 weeks to create. I avoid delays as much as possible, but the kiln can have a mind of its own. I’ll notify you immediately if I expect any delays in the production process.
