Crafted from natural clay and skilfully moulded by artisans, these unique pieces showcase earthy tones and intricate designs, adding a touch of rustic charm and elegance to any ensemble.
Yes, Handcrafted Terracotta Clay jewelry. This is the distinctive offering brought to you by ClayBae – an enterprise founded by Niveditha Kalidoss an environmental architect with a great sense of design, a deep sense of sustainability, and who is also a talented artist.
On a break after delivering her first child, Niveditha while browsing through Amazon one day, stumbled upon a beautifully hand-painted terracotta piece. Later however when she tried looking for that piece again, she could not find it. It was then that her artistic side took over and she decided to try to create something similar for herself. She began dedicating herself to clay work earnestly as a means to overcome postpartum depression. Understanding that many new mothers experience this challenge, she wants to convey the message that spending at least two hours daily doing what you love can be highly effective in alleviating PPD. If her words reach even one new mom and it brings them benefit, it would bring her immense joy.
Learning through various online videos and with diligent practice it took her almost a year to understand the whole process, while simultaneously managing her baby. The outbreak of Corona and subsequent lockdown further interrupted her work. However, undeterred, she launched her brand, ClayBae, on her daughter’s second birthday, making it a truly special occasion.
