Creativity to Happiness

Hi, I'm Claire aka CRZyBest Tiny Sculpture Creator, the pink one in colourful dungarees, Barley is the furry one!

My main goal in life and business is Creativity and Happiness and I've been lucky enough to win awards for making this my business or is that my life?

Mostly I create tiny sculptures using silver, copper and occasionally bronze metal clay: sometimes, or perhaps lots of the time, I then turn my tiny sculptures into jewellery, accessories and other things; sometimes they stay as tiny sculptures.

I love working in metal clay, it's the best combination for mixing my skills and knowledge gained from extensive learning and teaching in jewellery making and ceramics (BA, PGCE, MA). Best of all, I get to do all this from my CRZyBest Shedquarters alongside Barley my Jack Russell, it's my creative happy place with my garden often used as inspiration and resources.

You'll find both of us in my Shedquarters most days, unless we're out at events, walking or researching. My favourite tiny sculptures to create are inspired by dogs and beer, where new research is often necessary, fortunately we both enjoy a walk to the pub!
