Maker Spotlight – Get To Know The Face Behind The Brand.
Meet Denica from Cutie & Co. Denica lives in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada and started her polymer clay making earring business journey with her daughter Dream in March 2021. She is inspired by her family. Their earring cards and the names of their earrings are either family or a friend that inspired them.

-What made you want to start creating?-
“Due to the pandemic, I decided to leave my corporate management job to stay at home with my kids. I found polymer clay earrings on Etsy and found that it’s not being offered in our city yet so I bought my 1st set of cutters and clay right away without hesitation. I learned as I go and I am still learning.I also wanted to start a business and a passion I can share with my daughter because she loves crafts.”

“I would say my custom orders. Each one is different and I get so proud whenever I finish a custom order and my customer falls in love with them.”
–What makes your shop unique? What is your specialty?-
“We cater to both women and young ladies. Our earrings are versatile and can be worn with casual or formal outfits.”
