CERAMICS ARTISAN MERCEDES AUSTIN
BRIGHTENS LOCKDOWN WITH
AESTHETICS @HOME

Scientologists @home, featuring short films shot around the globe by Scientologists in their own homes, where they are staying safe, staying well and thriving in life, presents ceramics artisan and Twin Cities local Mercedes Austin @home. 

With her mosaic tile and ceramics business, Mercury Mosaics, shuttered for the duration, Mercedes Austin found herself with something this busy entrepreneur hadn’t had for a while—time on her hands. So, as bad news hit airwaves and her business was on indefinite hold, Mercedes opened The Scientology Handbook to the chapter on “Tools for the Workplace.” 

“There’s a great section in here,” says Mercedes, “all about making it so that you can control one thing when everything seems up in the air.” 

So she got busy doing what she does best: making a miniature mosaic from tile she had at home. “Honestly to just be able to make something in mosaic has given me a lot of stability. It’s also reignited me as a mosaic artist.” 

The lesson Mercedes learned and put into practice: when the world gives you lemons, make art. 

The Scientologists @home series is available at Scientology.org/DailyConnect, where every day new short films shot by Scientologists themselves present how they apply Scientology principles and continue their religious studies while at home. 

Tools for the Workplace is one of 19 free Scientology online courses based on principles from The Scientology Handbook.
