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

How many clay animation films are being produced?

And it said a couple skids of clay were enough to do a couple movies.

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".
