Jenise McCardell has been selling her handmade sculptures for over thirty years. In 1983, Jenise and her husband Mark opened their shop, Clay Creations, in the coastal city of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. After the Deepwater Horizon accident, the shop became one of the city's small businesses to take part in the Magnolia Money program sponsored by BP. Visitors to Bay St. Louis received Magnolia Money vouchers to spend at participating shops and restaurants. At Clay Creations, these vouchers provided valuable support, making up 20 to 30 percent of business.
