Karen Terpstra is an associate professor of ceramics at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Karen has presented 30 workshop / slide lectures since 1993 throughout the U.S. and abroad, including Ghana, Japan and Australia. She has exhibited extensively. Her Ceramic career has led to researching wood-firing in China, Ghana and Japan. She is also an avid horsewoman whose Appaloosa is a source of constant inspiration. It was a natural, then, for her to combine these two loves in her series of Equine Clay Sculptures. Some are life-sized assemblages, and others are the slab-built horse heads that you see here. Terpstra has had a dozen major articles written about her work in CERAMICS MONTHLY, CLAY TIMES, and THE STUDIO POTTER, available on our website (coming). She has exhibited in numerous National and International Invitational Exhibitions, including winning the Merit Award Prize for “Feats of Clay 8;” and Best in Show, Memorial Union Gallery, Iowa State University - 1993.
