About UHMERI

I'm Ameri! The hands behind UHMERI!

What began as a creative outlet quickly turned into something I never expected: a little handmade world! I always used art as my little escape from a heavy mind and sometimes eerie world. I started making polymer clay charms in middle school and would always be doodling in my sketch book but never took selling my art seriously for the longest.

After graduating high school, I tried working many part time jobs, exploring other lifestyles, and even went to community college for 2 years. Still, I felt so stagnant in my life and filled it with a whole lot of nothing good for me. Until April 2019, I quit my job (at a coffee shop), used my last paycheck to buy some art supplies and found my passion for sculpting and painting all over again. (I'd also like to mention, I was very fortunate to live with my mother while starting my business. Thank you forever, mama!)

I went to my first market with 4-5 handmade ashtrays. Nothing sold that day but the feeling of connecting with other creative people was enough for me to realize what I needed to make my life feel whole. However, I had $0 in my bank account and needed to get more supplies so I doordashed throughout the day and sculpted when I had time in between. Things slowly but surely picked up and now we're here 🥳 yay!

The Process

Almost everything you see in the shop is hand sculpted by me (I use beige Super Sculpey). Other items in the shop, like the gummy bear lighter case, are sculpted from clay, then made into a silicone mold and casted with resin or gypsum! *see descriptions for materials*

Once shaped, each piece is painted with acrylic paint (I use multi surface FolkArt) and given its one of a kind personality.

After everything is sculpted, baked, and painted, I use a high-gloss UV resin to give my pieces a satisfying, glossy look and keep them protected for the long haul.

My husband, Chandler, also helps with a lot of the process! He helps with base coating, resining, and keychain making, along with 3D printing tools for us to use!

My Mission

I think everyone deserves nice things. I really try to keep my prices as low as possible while keeping the quality to my standards, so anyone can have the chance at owning something handmade and special. I put love into every piece and am truly so grateful to be able to share my art with you.
