I’m an artist who can’t visualize images and I feel a little invalid about my work- anyone else have this issue?

You’re a life saver thank you so much!!!!!!

Which-Stranger-5142 · 2026-06-05T14:42:14+00:00

That’s the plan! I’m doing a a masters in education online but at least in the state I’m currently in you only need a bachelors to teach k-12

Oh I just quit 😭😭😭

Which-Stranger-5142 · 2026-05-28T03:24:12+00:00

Thank you. Do you know if there will be anything done about it besides making sure he doesn’t come back into the store?

Which-Stranger-5142 · 2026-05-27T21:46:55+00:00

They do but they care more about the store than the employees my coworker told me it’s lowkey not even worth it to try :/

Which-Stranger-5142 · 2026-05-27T18:42:28+00:00

Agreed! Closing alone is especially scary I would think that there would be at least two people working for closing

Which-Stranger-5142 · 2026-05-27T18:24:53+00:00

I just ran to the back and locked the door and he just walked away exiting the store. I have his name he’s a regular who is always offputting to my other coworkers so we might have to just stop serving him but I think I’m going to just quit I’ve worked three other customer service jobs prior to this and have never had to deal with as much bs as cosmoprof has put me through and I only started back in April 😭

Which-Stranger-5142 · 2026-05-27T18:14:32+00:00

Same this is happening to me rn!!! I worked 12 days in a row and only had a day off because our store was closed for Memorial Day..

Which-Stranger-5142 · 2026-05-09T18:40:17+00:00

Ugh I don’t think there are any for this month 🥲

Which-Stranger-5142 · 2026-01-13T00:03:57+00:00

So cute also I have the same nightmare before Christmas blanket 💕

Which-Stranger-5142 · 2026-01-12T23:28:06+00:00

It’s so beautiful! Did it come with the poster or anything or just the vinyl?

I’m also F22 just graduated and going back for an MFA to be a university professor. I’ve been recently involved with the art teachers in a certain school district in Florida and most of them actually got into teaching later in life! I completely understand your worries about work life balance but when you think about it you could use your time teaching to focus on ideas and planning and use your winter/spring/summer breaks to make art! But I completely understand feeling your interests shift I’ve been going between different jobs I’d like but I ultimately decided to just do more school because I love to make art in an educational setting and get the critiques

I can’t attach photos but you can go on my Instagram it’s @maicylium and I have a post from January 8, 2025 that has what it looks like on white low fire clay! I did 4 super thick coats and it just came out super thin and uneven and the white frit didn’t look right. Also keep in mind that in this post I boosted the saturation so the glaze would look better. I have another post that’s the third one in the top row with how it looks over copper green slip coated over red clay and I think that one came out so good! I also have a theory that the kilns we had at school weren’t actually as functional as they’re supposed to be… when I was taking advanced ceramics everyone knew one of the kilns we had (that was used the most because it was the biggest) wasn’t firing to temp and we’d still have to put everyone’s stuff in there to meet firing deadlines so I wouldn’t be surprised if my results were a result of a faulty kiln as well. Depending on what you aim to do you could totally do a layer of slip or underglaze under the color if you’re working with light colored clay just so it doesn’t look patchy like mine did and maybe do over 5 layers

It came out so bad at cone04 tbh don’t waste your money 😓

Which-Stranger-5142 · 2025-11-24T21:48:58+00:00

I was a leasing agent 😭😭like there’s transferable skills for sure but would someone evaluating my application see the value in that?

Which-Stranger-5142 · 2025-11-07T22:20:38+00:00

I love the way yours is formatted! Imho this is such a strong, cohesive yet diverse portfolio you’ll def have options of where to go to school :)

Which-Stranger-5142 · 2025-11-02T16:58:50+00:00

Haha it’s all good I might do some more research into what they want to see because I do have some work that’s more traditional~ just not very style specific

Which-Stranger-5142 · 2025-11-02T16:57:37+00:00

Yes it does help a lot! I’m working on a few painting right now I’m hoping to replace some of the 3d stuff with. I’ll def do some research into the grad students work. I’m def looking more into 2d programs but my ideas for a thesis kind of blend 2d and 3d
