Erin Hupp creates ceramic pieces that are both functional and focal by design, my art connects you to both the beauty and intent of your day. Each of my pieces is intended to draw you closer to the slow moments of connection – to your surroundings, your home, the restaurant you dine in and the food you eat.

Nightbird

restaurant

Erin and Chef Kim Alter work together together to design many forms for Chef Kim’s San Francisco restaurant Nightbird.

Her extraordinary menu showcases her commitment to technique, whole animal cookery and support of local farms. When plated, ceramic and culinary art come together to create a feast of the senses. Diners can see, feel, smell and taste the final art piece. Nightbird has an array of Erin’s custom ceramics, from Ink texture drop Rim Plates to a set of reveal dishes which hide Chef’s amuse bouche.

Californios has earned two Michelin Stars for Val’s creative menu that is part Mexican, part Californian and totally seasonal. The first collection Erin made was geometric Ink and Alabaster taco plates, made to order so that they perfectly fit everything from Val’s infladita to his handmade blue-corn tortillas. Californios also features Ink broth bowls that hold grilled baby banana with savory caramel and cold-smoked caviar; Ink Moon Chargers with a subtle glazing pattern reminiscent of the Californios logo, and Ink Texture dishes which hold Pastry Chef Sophie Hau’s artistic chocolate bon bons.
