A Worry Wort is a small handmade polymer clay figurine from a whole family of characters built around worry and big feelings. Think of it as a creature that carries some of the mental load for you, so you do not have to hold all of it alone.
I make each Worry Wort by hand in a one-person studio in Madison, Wisconsin, so no two are exactly alike. Some look nervous, some look determined, some look like they have simply had a day. That is the point. A Worry Wort is for anyone who runs a little anxious and wants something small and solid to keep on a desk, a shelf, or a windowsill.
The Worry Wort family also includes the Itty Wort, a smaller version with one eye instead of two.
A few common questions
Who is a Worry Wort for?
Anyone with a lot of thoughts. People give them to friends in a stressful season, to coworkers who need a desk companion, and to themselves on a hard week.
Are they one of a kind?
Each one is individually handmade, so there are always small differences between pieces in the same design.
