Hedi Schoop Art Creations
From 1935, Schoop turned to artistic work. She first modeled puppets and dressed them. When they were displayed by Barker Bros., she was advised to turn to more durable materials and began to produce ceramics. In 1940, she opened a production line,[15] Hedi Schoop Art Creations.[16] Schoop created ceramics for practical use, such as flower pots and candle holders. Figures were often rural people in national costumes, in simple design which carried coloring. She also created bowls and lamps, among other items, sometimes in series aimed at collectors.[3][16] Schoop hired people for the production but kept the designing for herself. In the late 1940s, the company had more than 50 employees and produced more than 30,000 pieces.[16] She employed other foreigners, including the journalist Ferdinand Kahn , the actor Ernő Verebes, the artist Sylvester Schäffer , the dancer Gitta Wallerstein, the actress Illa Rhoden and the cabaret artist Trude Berliner.[17][18][19]
