My Story

 
 

Welcome to Akay Collective

I appreciate you visiting my shop. My goal is create hand-sculpted, one-of-a-kind works of wearable art that let women feel empowered to wear bold statement pieces. I love that clay earrings are lightweight and can look sophisticated and elegant or playful and fun - dress up a graphic T, or wear with your favorite little black dress for date night.

How it all started

My name is Alyssa, and I am the owner & creator of this small business. I live in the beautiful city of Lynchburg, VA. I’ve always enjoyed painting and creating - mostly on canvas in the past. I started working with Polymer Clay in August of 2019 and it quickly became another soothing passion. Being partially financially dependent on your art can be incredibly intimidating at times, but the rewards far outweigh the stress! My art allows me an outlet and gives me a space to create something to help YOU take on your day in a bold way! Take a look at my pieces to see inside my head and heart.
