Heading to Louisville this morning to set up for the @sxpottery show. There’s a great lineup of artists and I’m looking forward to seeing all their work in person! #terrikern #terrikernstudios #underglazepainting #earthenwarepottery #owlobsession

Deciding which designs look best on this series of low shallow bowls is fun! Whether it’s jewelry, potato chips or Raisinettes, I like creating small art objects that can hold some of my favorite things. #terrikern #terrikernstudios

Most of the color on this vase will be in the interior, with small colored accents making an appearance in the outside. The bird and moon are the stars of this design will be filled in with sgraffito. #terrikern #terrikernstudios

This series of Sr. Mary “Shotties” combines my interest in illustration and letterforms. I enjoy creating detailed art objects that can also function. See the “Sisters” @sxpottery, March 6 & 7, Louisville, KY.#terrikern #terrikernstudios

I like mixing painted black lines with carved white lines. The movement and texture of each technique creates its own visual magic and helps tell the story. Available @sxpottery March 6 & 7, in Louisville. #terrikern #terrikernstudios

I start by outlining each image in black underglaze. Then I’ll add detail lines and dots and the wet black sgraffito work. @sxpottery, March 6 & 7, Louisville, KY. #terrikern #terrikernstudios

I use wet black sgraffito to create dots, lines and dashes on the bottoms of my pieces. I like drawing with my carving tool, cutting through the wet black underglaze to the underglaze color below. @sxpottery, March 6-7, Louisville KY #terrikern #terrikernstudios

I like to paint letter forms and having a guide line to keep them straight speeds up the process. Stay tuned! #terrikern #terrikernstudios #underglazepaintingceramic #earthenwarepottery #paintingletters

On bone dry pieces of this size, I typically wait about 20 minutes in between underglazes coats. It takes longer if I’m painting on bisque ware. I am using @maycocolors Squash Yellow underglaze. #terrikern #terrikernstudios #underglazepainting #earthenwarepottery

Shout out to my friend @nancyhopkinsdesigns for telling me about this. It’s been really helpful in my studio as I can go for months at a time without throwing or handbuilding. #terrikern #terrikernstudios #earthenwarepottery #wheelthrowingtips #ceramicsartist

New Year, New Work! I’ve been invited to participate in the 2026 Southern Crossings Pottery Festival held the first Saturday in March. Stay tuned as I create pieces that focus more on function #terrikern #terrikernstudios #whiteearthenware #underglazepaintingceramic #southerncrossingspotteryfestival
I’ve gotten 8 designs worked out and have transferred them to my bisque tiles. I’ve painted the tiles with several coats of @maycocolors China White underglaze.... #terrikern #terrikernstudios

I’m painting a new batch of salt and pepper shakers. The pairs include octopi, aliens, cats in space and the Phoenix. Woohoo! #terrikern #terrikernstudios
When I’m painting @maycocolors underglaze blends, I lay out the colors from light to dark.

I like to color block my designs with yellow (Squash) when I’m painting over blue. Once the yellow layer is dry, I’ll paint the design with several layers of off-white. This video has been sped up x3.
Thanks to my studio neighbor for the video, @drawn2mike

I spent the past few weeks cleaning and purging in my studio! It feels good to start working in a calmer space. I’m rearranging my @maycocolors underglazes as I dream up new color combinations. #terrikern #terrikernstudios
