Finding Beauty in the Breakup
A curated library of writing, resources, and art reflecting the messiness, meaning, and beauty of the breakup and what comes after.
Divorce is one of life’s least curated experiences.
Divorceramics is meant to help navigate it — whether you’re one day in or ten years out.
This project is grounded in the belief that beauty and meaning can still be found in lives that don’t unfold as expected. As writer Kate Bowler observes:
“We are on the lookout for beauty and meaning and truth in the midst of lives that didn’t turn out like we thought they should.” — Kate Bowler
Divorceramics is a curated divorce library of writing, resources, and art reflecting the messiness, meaning, and beauty of the breakup and what comes after.
And yes — it also includes divorce-inspired ceramics.
The Art of Ritual
-
Ritual grounds us when we feel untethered, connecting us to something greater than ourselves. Divorceramics approaches divorce through the art of ritual — not as something to fix, but as something to move through with intention and care.
This idea takes shape in three interconnected spaces.
-
Divorceramics is a curated library for people navigating divorce. Think of it as a collection where the sole Dewey Decimal Classification is 306.89 — divorce.
The Archives include over 100 articles and books — Split Lit — all centered on the experience of divorce.
-
The ceramics and other offerings are functional objects shaped by the same questions found in the archive — about rupture, repair, and the quiet rituals that continue through change.
-
Divorceramics also makes space for connection — between art and ritual and between people. Shared experience kindles recognition. Storytelling creates meaning. These connections shape how we understand ourselves and one other through the art of coming apart.
