About MAClayCo
Hi, I’m Erin, the chaos gremlin behind Mark Alexander Clay Co, or MAClayCo for short! I make handmade jewelry and accessories, with a special love for polymer clay earrings that are as unique as the people who wear them. I wanted to take a quick second to introduce the brand and share its story with you.
MAClayCo started as a little quarantine hobby back in 2020. You know, one of those “what do I do with all this extra time since the world has practically shut down?” projects. I had a corner desk in my apartment, some clay, and zero expectations, and somehow, magic happened. By January 2021, MAClayCo officially launched, and what began as a tiny passion project has since grown into a full-blown, self-sustaining business thriving out of my home studio in Calera, Alabama.
This brand is more than earrings, though let’s be real, the earrings are really cute. MAClayCo is a dream I refused to let go of, a mix of creativity, chaos, and pure joy. It is my inner child finally getting to run wild, making art just because it felt right. Honestly, if I could tell my younger self one thing, it would be, “Keep going, kid. One day you will be creating things that make people smile, feel confident, and chase their own dreams, and you will do it all while having fun.”
Every single piece I make is perfectly imperfect, just like the beautiful people who wear them, and made with love, care, a ridiculous amount of hours, and probably too much caffeine. The brand is named after my siblings (you can read more about that on the “Who Is Mark Alexander” page) and built on creativity, resilience, and heart. Each piece is handmade, one-of-a-kind, and meant to make you feel like your bold, joyful, chaotic self.
You can snag my pieces on the MAClayCo website (you might as well grab yourself a little treat since you’re already here), at local farmers markets, or bouncing around vendor shows in Alabama and the surrounding states.

Each piece is a little slice of me, and I hope it sparks some joy, a little confidence, and maybe even inspires you to chase your own dreams while looking cute doing it.
