Little Clay Hen is proud to be a small family business with a mission to make meaningful, high quality, artisanally crafted ornaments and gifts using locally sourced natural clay. Through our work we have been able to reach thousands of customers and over 100 retail establishments across the great American landscape. We offer almost 300 original designs and our portfolio is growing!

Our family started making kiln-fired Christmas ornaments in 2018 with a focus on southwest themes like cactus and chilies; we expanded to include animals, pets, kids themes, hot air balloons and more! They are super cute and beautiful, but, the best thing about our ornaments is that all of them are made, glazed and fired in our home ceramics studio using locally sourced clay!

Our crew is our family of five, mom, pop, and the 3 bros. We work from our home studio at the end of a funky little dirt road in a small town in New Mexico. Between our house and studio we keep a veggie garden, a few goats, and a hand full of happy chickens.

Each ornament created in our home studio is made, from start to finish -that is from raw clay to hot-out-of-the-kiln, by all five of us; together we make over two thousand ornaments a year!

As we craft our ornaments we know we are making them especially for your family and we want you to know that our work is truly hand made, and truly made with love & joy! Thank you for helping us on our mission of keeping family craft alive in America.
