For my first blog post, I’d like to introduce myself and set the tone for the rest of the blog. Thank you for being here! 


 

About Abigail:

My name is Abbey and I’m a polymer clay artist, marketing professional and small business owner. I also work full-time in the construction industry doing marketing and business development alongside many talented architects in the DMV area. I have a cat named Norman who oversees operations, and my family constantly lends a helping hand with markets and other business tasks. Shoutout to my Mom, Grandma, Aunt Nancy, and especially my cousin and star employee, Helen. I have numerous hobbies beyond playing with clay, including: reading, True Crime, going to the gym, and karaoke! I absolutely love polymer clay as a medium because it is so versatile, and you can quite literally create anything imaginable. I am very influenced by nature, bodies of water, and all things whimsical!  

When did you start making art? When did you start your business? 

I have always been crafty, ever since I was a small child I loved to make art with my grandma out of whatever we could find around the house. I have expressed myself through painting, drawing, and many other ways, but polymer clay is a medium I was able to stick with. I started  off with a cheap polymer clay kit off of Amazon in the midst of 2020. I practiced, practiced, practiced, and failed many times. But finally, I felt I had a product that I was proud of. That December, I posted on Facebook a few pieces I had made and the rest is history! My friends and family loved my work, and it gave me the confidence to continue making unique pieces. The hardest part of starting a business, in my opinion, was selecting a timeless name. I decided to utilize my last name and that’s how Cobb Creative came to fruition. 

What makes Cobb Creative unique? 

I make each and every piece with stellar attention to detail, and I try to envision the final piece being worn from the start of creation. I am able to express myself and my style through each piece of jewelry, and I almost feel as though they represent different phases and stages in my life. I love looking back and comparing my new pieces to old, and seeing my own growth. I am passionate about creating pieces for everyone, not a certain demographic. I have had past customers ranging from 4 to 93 years old! It is a tremendous honor to know that there are folks wearing my art each day. 

Who do you look up to?

I have a few people in the clay community who I absolutely adore, and I could probably write an entire book about them, but you can check them out on instagram at the links below:
