Well, it’s been a minute. My mom passed away about 10 months ago and it’s been pretty tough. She was an amazing woman. I’m hoping this is the start of something good. 🤞🤞🤞#terrikernstudios #terrikern #missingmymom #ceramics #underglaze

After years of trial and error, I have found that it’s helpful to paint a couple thin coats of glaze over areas with sgraffito patterns. This ensures that all the carved dot, dashes, and lines are fully glazed. I can’t wait to pull these pieces from the glaze kiln! #terrikern

Glazing starts tomorrow! After the bisque firing, I run my pieces under water to remove any kiln dust and sgraffito crumbs. I let the pieces dry overnight so the bisque is absorbent and holds the clear glaze as each painted layer is applied. #terrikern

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

When I’m doing sgraffito work, I clean the wet black underglaze off my clean up tool frequently. This allows me to keep carving clean lines and dots and keeps any underglaze carvings from falling back onto my piece.... #terrikern

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

This piece is inspired by my cat Nellie. She goes into stealth mode whenever her bowl of mouse toys comes out. When I’m making work, the idea comes first and then I try to marry the design to the form so that they compliment eachother... #terrikern

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
