ABOUT US

J's Clays
~ a Skidmore Family Business ~

Hello!

In the fall of 1994, we began our adventure in creating personalized Christmas ornaments. What a ride it has been! We began learning how to sculpt using polymer clays such as Sculpey III and Fimo. These modeling clays are not near as perishable or fragile as the traditional bread dough ornaments you may have seen over the years. While we have never had a formal art class, we have always relied on our own sense of creativity, observation, and experimentation for inspiration. 

What started out as a hobby has since grown into a family business. Together, Jerry and JoAnn and their daughter Jamie work together to design, create, and sell our beautiful creations all over the Southeastern part of the United States and beyond. 

We are very blessed to remember the Christmas season and what it is truly about. It is truly a blessing to share this loving time with all our loyal customers. You really feel like you are a part of our family. It is the connection we have with our customers that keeps us seeking to grow in our skills and designs each year. We hope to see you soon!

Merry Christmas!
Jerry & JoAnn Skidmore, Jamie Masters
J's Clays Handmade Personalized Christmas Ornaments

We help you create beautiful memories to last a lifetime!

We handcraft beautiful polymer clay Christmas ornaments and then personalize them to fit your family and individual needs.  We never settle for second best, and always have your satisfaction as our top priority.  It is who we are, and we are proud of it.  This is our family business and we aim to treat you like part of our extended family.

National & International Shipping

We are blessed to say we have had our ornaments shipped to nearly every state in our country and nearly every continent too!  Whether it is to send some comfort of home to loved ones stationed overseas or just to cheer up and old friend a few miles away, let us take care of your order and shipping needs!

Expert Team

Because this is our family's livelihood and part of our lives the last 25+ years, we aim to create beautiful memories for you and yours and we settle for nothing but the best work we can provide to ensure your satisfaction!

Quality Guaranteed

We stand behind our work.  They are handcrafted and not mass produced in a factory somewhere.  This means they are breakable - but common sensible handling our ornaments will last generations with no problem! Just ask our customers who have shopped with us all 25+ years we have been in business!
