Teen Clay Artist Finds Viral Fame with Her Quirky Face Plates

Most teens on TikTok find viral fame thanks to their dance moves and funny videos—and then there’s the 17-year-old girl behind the page Miranda Molds. The young clay artist became a true sensation thanks to the videos that show her creating colorful plates with quirky faces.

Since joining TikTok, Miranda’s videos have received over 10 million views and she’s currently followed by almost 400,000 people. She’s also active on Instagram, but TikTok is her main social media platform because it allows her to fully capture the entire process of making her quirky clay plates.

It usually takes about four days for Miranda to make each of her clay sculptures. They require about a day or two to dry, while acrylic paint and varnish usually take one more day apiece.

The Swedish teen never took art classes, and her creative process is pretty intuitive. Her quirky plates are usually inspired by fruits, which started after she made her first strawberry plate and never looked back.

Many of them also feature fake eyelashes, because Miranda bought them for herself and was curious to see how they would look like on her sculptures. They’re not available for purchase just yet, but Miranda is planning to start selling them this spring due to high demand.
