I’m really pleased with how this piece has turned out. #terrikern #terrikernstudios #ceramicsart

The color on this piece really pops with the clear glaze! See the finished piece at my exhibition.

I’m excited about the design of this piece! #terrikern #pottery #terrikernstudios #ceramicsart #art

Just a little something I’m working on. #pottery #terrikern #terrikernstudios #art #ceramicsart

Progress! I’ve added some additional underglaze color to this piece #terrikern #terrikernstudios

Working at a larger scale than normal has been pretty cool so far! #terrikern #terrikernstudios

It’s glazing time! Woohoo! #terrikern #terrikernstudios #art #ceramicart #ceramicsart #pottery

I wanted to show how the clear glaze deepens the color of the underglaze and brings out the subtlety

I’m almost done with this piece. #ceramicart #terrikern #ceramicsart #terrikernstudios #pottery

I dunk my pieces in water after the bisque firing. #ceramicart #ceramicsart #pottery #terrikern #art

When working with complex designs, I like to make an underglaze painting plan. #ceramic #terrikern

The simplification of the stages I go through to create one of my pieces #ceramic #ceramicart #art

As the song says, “It all starts with an idea. It starts with you getting out of your comfort zone.”

Once my design is finalized I use a pencil and a piece of tracing paper to transfer it to the vessel

I went a little sgraffito crazy on this piece! #terrikern #ceramic #ceramicart #art #ceramicartist

The constellations on the back of this piece are the Little Dipper and ... #terrikern #ceramic #art

This is my glazing set up. I like to keep my clear glaze in a small 4 ounce jar. #terrikern #art

Progress. @TaftMuseumOfArt #terrikern #ceramic #studioceramics #ceramicart #terrikernstudios #art

A work in progress for my show @taft museum.

It’s amazing how the black underglaze pulls the entire design together!

Painting the black outlines and detail on the surfaces of my pieces takes a long time but... #art

The painting on this vessel is finally finished.
