      According to the article the clay manufacturer isn’t shuttering due to lack of business but because the owners want to retire and can’t find somebody to take it over. Seems odd to me.

        Since I don’t think there is a lot money to make in the clay businesses, it makes sense that it’s not easy to find a successor - since he would have to be in for the fun of it and not for money.

          I mean if big feature films use them, I’m sure there’s a significant chunk of money involved

          I too am in the material arts. I do it because I love it and I make a living. Although sometimes you get paid like a parking meter, a nickle an hour. Anyone in the clay business probably already has a clay business. They need some halfwit with “a passion for clay” to happen by and buy it and then go tits up two years later because they can’t service the debt they took to “live their dream”.

      No they were one of their major customer but for Aardman they were their only supplier it seems. They still got sometime to figure things out so I don’t think it will have any major impact.
