If you want to throw a bunch of small pieces, this is the way to do it. I’m working on a quick video of throwing off the hump. The time will be sped up to keep the video under 90 seconds so stay tuned. #terrikern #earthenwarepottery #wheelthrowingvideos

Peeling the clay off the plaster is oddly satisfying! Lol. #terrikern #terrikernstudios #earthenwarepottery #wedgingclay #practicemakesprogress❤️

Day 1 of throwing had some serious failures. I chucked them in a bag to get them out of my brain so I can move forward and make progress. The next day, however, that wet clay needs to be addressed. This video shows the beginning of that process. Stay tuned for the next step. #terrikern

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

Hope you’ll make Final Friday @pendletonartcentercincinnati part of your weekend plans!

To all our new and returning customers, Thank You! for supporting your local arts community! The 31st Annual Studio Collection Holiday Sale was fantastic. Here’s hoping you all have a great holiday season! We also want to thank everyone we worked with at the Clifton Recreation Center. You guys rock!

I’m working on my line paintings today. As you can see from the close up, I don’t always follow the pencil lines I’ve mapped out. I always like to leave room for changes while I work. As I move the brush across the surface of the tile, my instincts kick in and the flow of the brush lines follow.

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’d like to introduce my studio assistants. Meet Jasper, assistant #1. 🐶At 10 years old, he is considered part of the senior management team. He has confidence in my ability to do my job and is content to nap while I work. Meet assistant #2, Nellie, code name: Pandora...

Getting back into the swing of things isn’t always easy. I hope you enjoy this “mini studio hack” from awhile back….yes, I’m a poet, and I don’t even know it!🤣 There I go, cracking myself up again. Lol 😄

It’s “Crack yourself up Thursday!” 😂 I’m pulling my ideas together and trying to get fired up for the next few weeks of painting as I prepare for the 31st Annual Studio Collection Holiday Sale on Saturday, November 22nd at the Clifton Recreation Center from 10-4.

My studio, (511,) @pendletonartcentercincinnati will be closed on Final Friday, 10/31. There is plenty of great art and good conversations to experience so I hope you’ll make it part of your weekend plans! If you’re looking for ceramics, check out the studios on the 2nd and 4th floors.

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 just finished the black line work on this turtle bowl. Swimming with the fishes sounds like a great way to spend this hot August day!🐠🐟#underglaze #terrikern #terrikernstudios

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

This piece is called “Missing”. It’s my first attempt at a new kind of fox. She gazes directly at the viewer, wanting to see and be seen. Her tail of many colors mimics fire, with the embers floating up to the sky and turning into leaves. Learn More at TerriKernClasses.com

I like sharing the process of building the painted surfaces on my pieces. These are a few videos (pardon the shaky camera work) of the finished piece “Familiar Waters”, from my last post. Video 1 shows the painted underglaze surface.... Learn More at TerriKern.com

This is from a series of bottle forms I created from my show at the Taft Museum of Art in 2024-2025. The form was inspired by Chinese porcelain vessels that sat upon wooden bases that are held within the Taft Museum’s collection. This piece is titled “Familiar Waters”.
