Hipster & Co
Meet the Maker
Hello! My name is Sasha Pierre and I am the owner and creator of all things Hipster & Co. I started Hipster & Co after loosing my job and having my two kids. In need of not just a creative outlet, but a means to financially help to care for our family; I decided to share my talents with the world and see where it took me.
The name "Hipster & Co" came about after having started my business while carrying around our daughter (and later my son), on my hip. They did everything with me, and that's how I came up with the name.
Besides working with clay, I love sewing and teaching sewing to local students. I love going into the city, visiting museums and taking in all of the beauty you find in NYC (where I grew up). I love finding the beauty in things around me and I hope that you too will find something special in my handmade earrings.
How it’s Made
I start off each earring by choosing the color clays that I will be using. I then work the clay to get it nice and smooth before rolling it in the clay machine to make it the thickness that I want. Using clay cutters, I stamp out each piece onto tiles and bake them in the oven. Depending on the style, I sometimes have to add gold flakes, paint, etc. before the pieces go into the oven. After the pieces are cooled off, it's time to sand down any rough edges, drill holes, and attach earring posts and jump rings.

Care Instructions:
It's very important to properly care for your polymer clay earrings in order for them to have long lasting life.
- Polymer clay is very durable, but also easy to bend. Avoid bending earrings. This can cause an earring to snap.
- Take polymer clay earrings off before showering or going into water.
- When not wearing your earrings, store them in a dry area.
- Over time, it is normal for hair products, skin care products, and/or makeup to build up on the earrings. This can stain polymer clay earrings. Simply wipe with a damp cloth. For tough to remove stains, it's okay to use a tiny bit of dish soap.
- For all earrings with brass, tomato based products are a great way to remove tarnish! Products, such as ketchup, tomato paste, and tomato sauce contain an acid that works great to shine up darkened brass.
