Black Bird Ceramic Bauble - Medium

Each bauble begins with carefully prepared clay, which is poured into moulds to create its shape. After drying, the surface is refined and hand‑painted by skilled artists. The baubles are then glazed and kiln‑fired to achieve a durable, beautifully finished piece.

Hippo Studio is a small pottery in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, creating vibrant, African‑inspired ceramics. The artists are self‑employed and highly skilled, having been trained to develop marketable craftsmanship that supports their economic independence. The pride they take in their work allows them to play a meaningful role in their community, often becoming the main providers for their families and extended families through their artistry.
