In 1940, she opened a production line, Hedi Schoop Art Creations in Southern California. The factory Hedi founded produced ceramics based on her designs from 1940 to 1958. 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. 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.
