Welcome to Sharon Hoppe Designs

At Sharon Hoppe Designs, we believe art should be playful, empowering, and a little bit sassy. Whether you're rolling out slabs, hand-building your next masterpiece, or simply craving a creative escape, you're in the right place.

We create more than just tools—we build experiences. From whimsical forms and texture boards to confidence-building clay projects and membership magic, we’re here to help you create pieces that feel good to make and good to share.

Our mission? To make clay more fun, more approachable, and more YOU.
