Doing some testing with @kiwi.underglaze 🧡🤩💕
Making some newbies 🌈✨
Production letter game in full swing 💌🔤
And of course…the classics 🙂🎈
Fresh kiln unload packed with pastel hearts, smileys, stars, rainbow experiments, confetti speckles, and a few “what happens if I try this?” moments. Some made the cut. Some absolutely need another round. That’s the game.
Guaranteed to never deflate.

Feeling so grateful after this weekend at the Dogwood Arts Festival 🌸
Thank you to the team for putting on such a beautiful event, and to everyone who came out and supported artists—you made it unforgettable.
Winning the People’s Choice Award is such an honor, but honestly, the best part was watching people connect with the work… spelling out names, finding meaning, and choosing their forever balloons.
That’s why I do this 💫
Y’all. The creativity of makers never ceases to amaze us, even after 15 years of putting on markets. Would you believe us if we told you these balloons are CERAMIC?! Guaranteed to never deflate!! New vendor @hypequeenstudios is bringing a beautiful array of shapes and colors to Porter Flea Summer Market on June 12 + 13! Each one is carefully crafted to look exactly like a real balloon— the wrinkles, the shine, the fun!! They’re easy to hang on the wall (check out her handy tutorial) and will last for years to come! INCREDIBLE!
Hey hey heyyyy NCECA friends, one week out!
I’m Maddi, the hands behind Hype Queen Studios building the everlasting party one slip-cast at a time 🎈
If you’ve seen my work, you already know the deal: balloons that never deflate, party objects that refuse to quit.
What started with balloon letters has turned into a full-blown celebration, flowers 🌺
hearts 🧡
stars ⭐️
disco balls 🪩
party hats 🥳
groovy shoe vases… 👠
Color runs the show, but luster is the obsession.
Let’s party.
Hello 2026 !! Can’t believe this is the first post of the year, welcome back to my page 🌸🎈
Spring showed up early at Hype Queen Studios.
I’ve been quiet on here, but the studio has been anything but.
The first months of the year have been full studio mode—casting, glazing, firing, repeat—building out this growing field of ceramic flower balloons.
Balloon flowers are usually the life of the party for about a week…
These ones are stoneware and guaranteed to never deflate.
More flowers.
More color.
Bigger arch.
The party is just getting started. 🌈✨
Huge shout out to @halfmoonceramics for putting up with me and assisting me in making this vision come true!
