✨ I create bold, retro-inspired, mid-century modern, and abstract ceramics in the SF Bay Area at #hippottery. 🍶 🎨Art is my expression, and so is speaking up. I’m passionate, aware, and unapologetic. If you love art with a voice, join me. hippottery.com
Beelipads. Like helipads, but for bees. 🐝 Tiny clay landing pads that sit in a shallow dish of water so pollinators can drink without drowning. Each one hand-rolled and stamped with a botanical motif, ferns, leaves, little flowers. No two alike. #pottery #ceramics #bees #pollinators #gardening
Meet Benthic Garden. 🌊 I didn’t know what the glaze would do, it decided to become an ecosystem. Took her outside, zoomed in, and she was keeping secrets. A garden at the bottom of the sea. Debut this July. #sculpturalceramics #glazelife #ceramics #kilnopening #amacoglazes
Kiln documentation attempt: failed. Cat content: thriving. These little oval gremlins are loaded and waiting for their bisque. Unbothered, as cats are. 🐱 #Ceramics #Pottery #CatArt #ClayArt #Bisque #StudioLife #PotteryLovers
✨ New Creations from Hippottery Studio ✨ Meet my Desk Companions - The Artisan Series Each piece is a small sculpture for your workspace, handcrafted from mixed hardwoods and accented with warm brass, copper, stainless steel details.
We visited the SFMOMA yesterday, Ruth Asawa - Retrospective is incredible with over 300 pieces of Ruth Asawa's art, including her famous looped-wire sculptures and lesser-known works. Two more videos in comments. #RuthAsawa #Retrospective #wireart

Small but mighty! Hand-carved spice spoons in cherry, walnut, maple & more, perfect for salt cellars, spice jars, or gifting. Find them at @mccunebookarts, in collaboration with @theexchangevallejo during Vallejo’s Art Walk, July 11th! Which one’s your fave? Drop a comment! #SpiceSpoons #HandCarved
From forest finds to functional art! I’ve been carving spice spoons + crafting turkey tail brooms with love. 🧹🌿 The kiln’s finally repaired, and clay work is on the horizon. Stay tuned—new ceramics coming soon! #HippotteryStudio #MadeByHand #BackToClay #SlowMade #RusticTools
Had some more fun making not one but two turkey tail brooms this time! Loving the rhythm of the wrapping and the beauty in the bristle fan. This craft has me hooked. 🧹✨ #TurkeyTailBroom #BroomMaking #FolkCraft #HandmadeTradition #SlowCraft #HandsOnHeritage #CraftJoy
🥄✨ A few weeks ago, I made this spoon at the Exchange, and it was such a blast!! There’s something incredibly satisfying about shaping something by hand that’s both sculptural and functional. #handmadespoons #SpoonLove @theexchangevallejo #HippotteryStudio #makersspace #woodenspoon #BayAreaMakers
It’s been a while, I tried my hand at making a turkey tail broom, woven, fanned, and full of old-school charm. 🧹Feeling connected to centuries of craft. Watch to see the magic come alive! 💫 #TurkeyTailBroom #HandmadeTradition #CraftRevival #FolkArt #BroomMaking #HandsOnHeritage

Just stumbled upon these unfired mini pitchers I made for an art show a few years back. Loved how they turned out in their greenware stage! #Hippottery #Ceramics #pitchers
Peeking into my vintage green Mason jar, I’m infusing orange blossoms into oil, capturing spring’s essence in a bottle. #greenlightsource #AprilColors2025
This morning in the shower, I felt something weird on my left foot. I looked down and couldn't tell what the heck had landed on me. Read more in the comments below: #surprise #creature #critters #housecentipede #invertsky #bugsky

This stunning quilt is part of a larger wall piece by the talented Susan Lane. Rich with texture, movement, and color, her work invites you to lean in, slow down, and feel the story stitched into every thread. #FiberArt #TextileArt #QuiltArt #SusanLane #HandmadeArt #Aprilcolor2025 #AnalogousColor
Can someone explain this? Bluesky announces they're changing the character limit. Uh...what? Am I missing some genius innovation? That’s not an upgrade, that's a downgrade. Is this social media performance art? Did they merge with The Onion and forget to tell us?😂 #Bluesky #TechFails #IsThisAParody

Kato’s not usually a big biscuit maker, but once in a while, he surprises me. Show me your biscuit maker! #buscuitmaker #catsofbluesky #TurkishVan #Cashmerecoat

We LOVE YOU Canada! 🇨🇦 I’ve referred to him that way ever since I finished the last page of Mary Trump’s book, Too Much and Never Enough. It’s frustrating that the people and the media here in the U.S. don’t call him out for what he truly is, a sociopathic, pathological lying narcissist.
Last year, we created a ceramic wall vase inspired by the vibrant ***Amethyst Deceiver mushroom***. This unique piece has since found a new home. #AmethystDeceiver #CeramicArt #WallVase #NatureInspired #MushroomArt #BotanicalDecor #Woodlandvase #ceramics #hippottery
