about the artist
Thank you for visiting my online shop. My name is Isabella Hackerman and I am a ceramics artist and instructor based in southern California. I use clay to create functional and decorative pottery with a flirty vibe. My pieces are inspired by lace, lingerie, and other romantic motifs. This inspiration comes from a lifetime of being a hopeless romantic drawn to hedonistic fulfillment. As a child I was enamored by the visuals of movies such as Moulin Rouge and Chicago, and I thought the outfits and costumes were the ideal dress code. The lace, fishnet, and glamour are symbols of fierce, courageous, and powerful women; and I love making pottery that looks and feels as fierce as those characters in fishnet.
My pieces are made to make your world feel a little more fierce. You could sip coffee from a handmade mug, store your favorite pens in a decorative cup, or stash your earrings in a trinket dish. There are so many ways to elevate your space with a handmade, sexy object from my shop.
I truly appreciate your visit to my shop today. Feel free to share this with someone you think would enjoy a dash of sexy pottery in their life. If you are interested in learning more about clay and what to set up a private session, please check out the services I offer and email any questions to isabellahackerman@gmail.com

This is a prosperity cup, it is meant to make your day feel a little more wealthy. The color combined with the texture reminds me of the intricate designs printed on currency, hence the name “Prosperity Cup”.

This vase smells like money. Not literally, but at least this was my first thought when I finished this piece. Wheel thrown vase with lace and fishnet imprinted, topped with gold-colored cord. Looks like a bag of money if you squint.

When I am not working on my own pieces, you can find me in a classroom sharing my knowledge with the community. I have taught at studios throughout Los Angeles such as AMOCA, Pot LA, and Green & Bisque Clayhouse. I also taught as an adjunct professor at Santa Monica College, Long Beach City College, and Chaffey College. Sharing my skills and techniques with the community is such a rewarding experience.
