5 out of 5 starsThank you for my beautiful new handmade ASL necklace! 🤟🏻 The treats were a nice surprise too. I'd never had Zotz candy before & now I love it! This future interpreter can't wait to wear her new jewelry to ASL class on Monday. 💙

5 out of 5 starsI seriously love this pendant - fantastic retro rocket design, lightweight, I love that you can choose the length of the cord, and the glazes are beautiful colors. I think it will go with a lot of different outfits as well :). A great piece of art for anyone who likes space!

Surly-Ramics How it Began
I first began working in clay by helping my mother, Charlene. At the time, my mother had a small home business that made porcelain awards for horse shows. I was very influenced by her work even though I probably didn't know it early on. Her highly detailed work has without a doubt influenced my artwork today.
As a young woman I opened an art gallery in North Hollywood, California. During the time I had the gallery I began making and selling small ceramic necklaces. Unfortunately, I had no idea how to run an art gallery and after a short stint and an unfortunate series of events, I ended up literally bankrupt. I had no car and no place to live. I had failed.I got very depressed and I stopped making art.
A year or so passed by.
Then, I got a job as a waitress to try to start saving money to start my life over. I remembered how much I enjoyed making the ceramic jewelry in my mother's studio so I started making necklaces and wearing them into work. I had moved into a tiny one-room apartment and I didn't have any space to create. The necklaces were small and I could make them in my mother's backyard ceramic studio. It was perfect. It was during the same time period that I started learning about science and a few months later I found out about the skeptical community. During this educational period in my life I was able to find something that my artwork had been lacking, a purpose and a message.
At work, people fell in love with the jewelry. I had people buy them right off my neck! I literally couldn’t make them fast enough. Surly-Ramics was born! Within a few months I had started a new business, one that championed nature and critical thinking and I no longer needed to wait tables.
I got a second chance.
I now work as an artist fulltime. I design jewelry that advocates education and science and celebrates nature. I have a Patreon where I create art that is inspired by science and nature and I make pottery and paint there with videos. You can find me there at Patreon.com/surlyamy
Together, with compassion, we CAN make the world a better place.

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
Yes, you can get them wet. They are like small ceramic dinner plates they are study unless you drop them on tile or cement. Cords need to be replaced after about 6 months. I sell replacement cord in my shop. You can also put the pendants on chains,
Custom and personalized orders
I'm happy to do custom orders and often recreate people's logos on pendants for fundraisers and business gifts. I also do single custom orders for people on a regular basis. Custom orders take approximately 2 weeks to complete and may require a deign fee if I have to draw something or make a mold. Please contact me with questions.
Gift wrapping and packaging
All of my orders come in a gift box at no extra charge. No need to ask. I never include an invoice in the box unless you ask for one so they are perfect as is to send out as gifts. You pick it and I'll gift box it and ship it for you!
