Terepocki is a Chilliwack ceramicist whose practice is driven by innovation, process and material. According to the B.C. Achievement Foundation, she is interested in unconventional processes and crossing boundaries between different industries and artistic practices, fueling her passion for researching, developing glazes and new techniques.

Practicing in the Fraser Valley, Terepocki has immersed herself in the community making connections and creating work that is strongly rooted and reflective of her natural surroundings. Her Chilliwack River Clay series was harvested with shovels and buckets from the local river and her current project includes making tiles from wild clay.

Terepocki has had a diverse practice exhibiting, teaching, designing, and producing multiple collections of work, and has exhibited internationally, the foundation indicated. The local clay research has opened up opportunities for community engagement and has allowed this ceramicist to create meaningful work and contribute to the culture of the place she calls home.
