About Us
Karen's Corner Studio was founded in Blue Mountain, Mississippi in 2016. The studio currently resides in the beautiful mountains of Sylva, North Carolina.
My family has moved quite a lot over the years but no matter where we lived, I always had a corner to set up my work. Thus, the name Karen's Corner Studio was born.
I specialize in unique jewelry pieces created from polymer clay. Polymer Clay is durable, smooth and lightweight. It is a manmade clay that is actually a type of plastic which hardens when baked.
Our methods include custom 3D printed shape cutters, and liquid clay applications using custom designed vinyl cut silkscreens.
As I create each piece of jewelry, I am inspired by the beauty that surrounds me.
Sometimes its seasons and holidays; sometimes it is in nature, or the majestic view of my North Carolina mountains.
I keep my pieces affordable for everyone...because life doesn't always let us have the things we desire. Unique jewelry should!
Welcome to my studio and I hope my wearable art reminds you that you are a beautiful work of art too!
