Shoko Teruyama grew up in Mishima, Japan. She earned a BA in education and taught elementary school two years before coming to the United States to study art at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1997.  Shoko received her MFA in ceramics in the fall of 2005 from Wichita State University.  She finished a three-year residency at the Penland School of Crafts in 2008 and is now a studio artist in Marshall, NC.

Shoko's handbuilt work is made of earthenware with white slip and sgraffito decoration. She has developed personal drawings including a variety of vine patterns twisting around bird motifs.  To Shoko, the birds represent freedom.
