Nature in Clay Ceramics Studio

Nature in Clay is located on the Hamakua Coast of the island of Hawaii. Its ceramics is inspired by nature, which is the theme for its unique pieces.

Nature in Clay’s ceramist, Marion Nipper, is a retired marine biologist who discovered her love for ceramics towards the end of her scientific career. All sorts of forms found in nature, including marine creatures, plants, their flowers and leaves, birds and insects, among others, serve as inspiration sources. Although my initial passion was for functional pottery, both hand built and wheel thrown, Nature in Clay currently also produces some select sculptural pieces.

Aloha,
I realize that I haven't posted anything on this page for a long time. There are several reasons for it. One is that, as my nephew (a professional photographer) says, I may be a good ceramicist but am a terrible photographer! I also haven't held a studio open house or participated in personal sales in a few years and, therefore, haven't been promoting it. However, my ceramics can be found at One Gallery and Banyan Gallery in Hilo, and native bird-themed ceramics pieces are available at the Hawaii Wildlife Center, in Kapa'au. I would encourage you to visit those galleries. I am also open to studio visitors, by appointment.
Here go a few photos of my latest creations, even if the photo quality is not up to professional standards... 😉
There will be several more mugs with sea animals after the next kiln load is fired.

Yet again, given the uncertainties of life with covid-19, we chose not to have an open house on a weekend during the holiday season. However, like last year, we are open by appointment, always abiding to the current recommendation of mask-wearing while visiting Nature in Clay Ceramics studio. Please, send me a message or email if you would like to schedule a visit to the studio in Hakalau. I look forward to hearing from you, not only to view ceramics, but also to talk story. With aloha, and wishing everybody a happy holiday season
