When you’ve had a significant loss, grieving can be overwhelming. Grief Trails gave me the opportunity to express my pain through art. Robin is a wonderful teacher. She’s patient and kind. I learned so much from her. She has the ability to transmit to the most novice of students not only her knowledge and her skill, but also the spirituality and healing that is hidden in clay. I truly thank her and will cherish the lovely piece I was able to make, for the rest of my life.
I lost my Mom a year ago. The loss left me heart broken. Taking classes with Grief Trails has been a deeply therapeutic experience for me. Working with clay provided a meaningful outlet to process the grief of losing my Mom. Incorporating her ashes into the glaze for my wind chimes I created added a personal and symbolic touch, creating a memory that brings comfort and solace. The classes provided a cathartic journey towards my healing.
After a very hard loss of a loved one, I took classes with Robin who teaches at Grief Trail Ceramics. I found the classes to be a place of healing. The studio provided a safe and nurturing environment which allowed me to express myself through clay while creating a very personal piece of art that holds a special place in my heart.
Without knowing what it would feel like to sit in Robin’s studio to create a wind chime, the experience was, nonetheless, the best day in a long time. Soothing background music created a meditative ambiance as we were guided through how to work the clay, shaping patterns and not over thinking. No small talk, but a few memories brought bittersweet laughter and solace during our time together. Losing our mom was a profound loss. A walk in nature, meditation, or prayer. However you find peace, I lovingly guide you to Robin’s studio for a safe and moving space to open your heart and ignite the flame of healing.
