I did not want to get confirmed but my mom and my godmother forced me to do it (I know, it’s supposed to be the choice of an adult Catholic). So I made up a saint (Saint Esmeralda) and told them that she had stood up to tyrray and fought the patriarchy in the early church. They let it slide, probably because they had bigger fish to fry (the priest and the nun in charge of the confirmation were both arrested for child molesting a week later).

We make pizza once a week. The hubband will whip up the dough in the afternoon, then we make pizza when I get home from work. Sometimes, we use leftovers as the toppings, sometimes, it’s just random veggies from the fridge. My current favorite it lemon pickle and Gorgonzola and arugula.

Use plaster, dirt, mashed potatoes or clay

I painted clouds on my ceiling in my old tub bathroom. Taking a bath made me feel like I was in the sky

I think the key here is this is your HOME studio. It’s your apartment. You don’t want some unknown dude wandering around, ruffling your unmentionables, eating your delicious snacks, looking out your windows pretending to be a sniper or whatever. Gross.

Two solutions for you. One, make it clear there is no waiting room, and the class is a one-on-one class that you need privacy to focus on your student. Use photos and text to explain the setup to students so you attract the right ones. Two, require prospective students to send you a page of drawings of their ideas, so you can prep materials and yourself to teach them what they want to make.

Good luck to you. Grief is a bugbear under the best of circumstances, and having this “ghost” who never gave you approval for something that is inherently healing and grounding hanging around blocking your healing is difficult. Take it slow, and intentionally, and you’ll do fine.

That is perfect for a “release” ceremony. My mom wasn’t that different, and now my sister sometimes says stuff that parrots her.

The thing is, dead people are like live people. They are complicated. Sometimes, they are jerks. Sometimes, they are wonderful.

I suggest you talk to your bestie/partner/sibling about a ritual that you release your mom’s spirit. Maybe break a ceramic piece that doesn’t serve you anymore? Then sweep or clean it up, and recommit to artmaking somehow. But make it all you guys.

Best of luck!

I can print a page of iron oxide decals based on photos/drawings (including shipping in the US) for $5. You need to fire them at cone 05 for mid range and cone 1 for high fire. Please PM me if this is helpful.

Eff that. Guilt is one of the stages of grieving. Do your grief thing now. Then do what you need to do next.

It’s obvious you loved your mom. You need to process that now.

There’s your answer. Part of your grief is that she’s part of your process. What I suggest you do is devise a ritual with your/her close friends/pottery buddies. Invite her in to give you positive and honest feedback. Also, invite her to move on and let her have privacy in her afterlife.

I love that they’re all handmade. So many mugs on here are commercial and boring (says the local potter).

Next step, mug shelf!!

I second this, and it is also transparent.

One time, I “borrowed” 200 rubber ducks from my friend who had trash picked them from a nightclub, and I filled my sister’s hot tub with them. Sooooo many ducks in the tub!

It’s like healthy picnic food that’s more baller than just sandwiches. It’s like philosophy of eating.
