About us

Hi, I am Ramya, the maker and mama behind NayVi Makery.

NayVi is not a word you will find in any dictionary. It is a blend of my two children's names. They are our little trouble makers who love crafting with me every chance they get.

I have been a maker of all kinds of things for years and Jesmonite, polymer clay and casting are my newest love. They are materials I have been testing, sanding, breaking and perfecting, until every piece is one I would proudly keep in my own home.

I started this business so I could be at home with my children and pour my energy into them and into something of our own. It is a way to contribute to our family and save for their future. Built on a knack for crafting, plenty of hard work, and a whole lot of trial and error.

So in 2026, NayVi Makery was born. It is a woman owned small business, run out of our home in Austin, Texas. Every new technique is an adventure we figure out together. I am learning to run a business and master new materials. The children are learning that patience is part of making. And we are all learning that the mistakes are where the magic happens.

In our little home studio you will find me pouring Jesmonite home decor like trays, bowls and accents, all with that smooth, stone like finish. I also shape playful polymer clay pieces, and I make and pack up our paint your own kits, so your family can share the same joy of making that ours does. Every piece is designed, made, sanded, painted and packed by hand, in small batches, right here at home.

And the puffin? He is our mascot, named after our children too. Puffins stay close to the nest to raise their pufflings. That is exactly how we make everything here, close to home, with the people we love, handcrafted with care.

Thank you for supporting our family's small business. Whether you are bringing home a finished piece or painting your own, your order truly means the world to us.
