was Aardman their only customer or something?
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
How many clay animation films are being produced?
