Bird and Clay
The meaning behind our name
Birds are poetry in motion.
They move with rhythm and grace, always heading toward somewhere new. Yet, beyond their flight, birds have an instinct to nest. Each nest is a unique creation, shaped by its environment, crafted from the materials at hand, yet always serving the same purpose: a home, a resting place for life’s most precious things.
Clay is humble in form, but quietly full of possibility.
What begins as ordinary earth can become something meaningful when guided with intention. Clay reminds us to move slowly—shaped in its own time, dried with patience, and strengthened through fire. And when its purpose is fulfilled, it can return to the earth and begin again, carrying its potential forward into whatever comes next.
Together, Bird and Clay embodies movement and home, imagination and transformation — a celebration of creating spaces and pieces that are alive, purposeful, and full of possibility.
Our mission is to create pieces that fill every home with warmth, beauty, joy, and meaning.
Our Story
Hi, we’re Bird and Clay. We’re so glad you’re here—of all the places you could be, you chose to spend a moment with us, and that means so much. We’re a (very) small business with a love for art, design, and making home feel cozy.
Bird and Clay was officially formed this year, but the dream behind it has been over 20 years in the making. Our founder grew up as a third-culture kid in a Navy family, moving from place to place. Home was always precious—wherever she was, however long she stayed, creating a sense of home made life feel steadier. She learned that when her surroundings felt like home, even the unfamiliar felt manageable.
We know every home is unique, but what unites us is the desire for our spaces to reflect who we are and how we want to feel. Bird and Clay exists to honor that—to craft pieces that bring warmth, beauty, and a quiet sense of belonging to the place you call home, helping it feel personal, meaningful, and uniquely yours.
