Hanns Zischler writes about her sometimes factually cool, sometimes Venetian playful work:

"When we marvel at Kerstin Müllerperth's glass objects and touch them gently, hold them in hands and against the light and lose ourselves in their colors, we touch the secret of the art of glassblowing."

She was a member of the jury, including the 2017 “ GEDOK FormArt Elke and Klaus Oschmann Prize”. She has been a member of the jury of the Baden-Württemberg Association of Craftsmen since 2015 .
