Laurie Beth Zuckerman's MEMORY JUGS CD BOOK is the only complete resource on how to make memory jugs and other folk-art, found-object memory vessels and memoryware. This "workshop in a book" offers Laurie's detailed instructions, alongside an extensive image gallery of traditional antique and vintage memory jugs, edited and compiled from museums, galleries, private collectors, and auctions. Memory Jugs includes historical discussions and debates about this enigmatic folk art tradition, most commonly associated with Southern African-American funeral customs, Victorian mourning practices, and Outsider Art. Memory Jugs also contains images of Laurie's own unique memory jug creations.
MEMORY JUGS CD BOOK has sold to hundreds of mixed-media, found-object assemblage artists, mosaic artists, and teachers throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia during its five years of publication. Folk art collectors will appreciate the links to folk art dealers who sell antique and vintage memory jugs, as well as links to the best contemporary memory jug artists in the US and England. Memory Jugs is in its 232-page April 2012 edition.

MEMORY JUGS CD BOOK CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
"When I made that memory jug... I received a kind comment from Laurie Beth Zuckerman... It was a pleasant surprise as I instantly recognized Laurie's name from my initial discovery of these fantastic folk art objects. I'd even put together a little sheet of her jugs, which I printed out and it sits just above my Mac. She makes beautiful memory jugs, do check them out. Anyway, it put Laurie back on my radar and I saw she had a cd book available to buy on her blog, $20, so i did..... and it's FANTASTIC!! I highly recommend buying a copy. Not only is there a great selection of images, jugs both historical and those made by Laurie herself, but there's also a wealth of information from the history of these jugs to how to make your very own (mine was a rather scattershot approach in comparison!!). Here are just a few examples of what you will find if you wisely buy a copy. Laurie kindly gave me permission to use some of her images on here. Beautiful aren't they? I'm looking forward to making my next one now!" Garrett Life Blog by United Kingdom artist/illustrator, Scott Garrett.
"Your wonderful CD arrived today, and I have stayed up 'til 2:30AM reading it! (I only meant to take a quick look, but couldn't stop!) What a great resource! You must have worked hard to assemble all this information, instructions, and great photos of so many kinds of memory jugs, and it was well written too! I'm off to bed now, but I will be coming back to read and re-read."
"I just wanted to thank you for the CD. I've been studying it for hours. You are a very generous artist. It is full of great information with thorough instructions that will help me develop my own Memory pieces. The photos of vintage and contemporary work are a treasure. Your pieces are spectacular. Rich design and so full of depth and meaning."
"Thank you so much for the CD I really enjoyed it and was very inspired by the examples. I found the CD full of great information, from the interesting ideas on history, to the how to section and list of traditional objects. I was mostly excited by the lovely photos, I haven't been able to find many examples of old jugs so they are great reference material for me and I liked how you categorized them. I will recommend the CD on my site to anyone interested in making a jug or wanting more information on them."
"I love love love your book!!! Thank you so much. Very inspirational and thank you for the instructions. I have not gotten started yet but am looking forward to starting soon. I can see that preplanning is a good idea. I have looked at memory jugs for years and wondered how on earth they were made. I knew it had to be pretty simple materials as they didn't have all the fancy epoxies that we have today. Your book really helped clear up the mystery. Your memory jugs are fabulous!!!"
"I got your book/CD in the mail and can't take my eyes off the screen. What a terrific job you did with this book and how generous you are to share all of those tips. I cannot WAIT to get to the store and buy the supplies and start exploring. I had no idea that there were others out there who shared my passion, my fascination with memory jugs…and more."
"Received your CD and I really loved it. Wow, what beautiful imagery and I enjoyed the history and deeper meaning of these vessels. I thoroughly enjoyed viewing not only the imagery of the Memory Jug but getting a deeper understanding of the symbolism and the creative process in regards to making them. It was very inspiring to me."
"I just got my CD from Laurie Zuckerman. It's a fabulous book that gives the history and shows all the different types of jugs, vases, bowls, that people have covered with trinkets of their lives. Laurie is a fabulous artist. Check out her altars and memory jugs. If you love folk art or Mexican art like me, you'll love her art."
"Wow. I just discovered your incredible art and ordered your CD book. I cannot WAIT to get it. I've been making mosaic structures for years, but have been frustrated with my inability to find a putty, as was used years ago in making memory jars. I hope you have the answer in your book. Can't wait to see more of your work, too!"
"I watched—read LOL your CD last night and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. It is a very unique and informative way to present the memory jugs and its relations. I can’t wait to share it with my friends. Your hard work and love for the art form shows in the presentation. It was well worth the $20."
"I love the CD!! I just got home from vacation and have piles of laundry and other unpacking to do, but…had to pop in CD…and couldn't stop!! It's very inspiring and informative. Several points you made hadn't occurred to me. It was well worth the selling price. I am sure I will refer to it over and over."
"I finally got to check out the CD. I am VERY happy with it. All the wonderful photos of different types of memory art. My favorite in the book is the one you did in memory of your father. Unbelieveably beautiful. I now can't wait to get started on my first one. Your book helped so much."
"I wanted to tell you how much I love the memory jug book. These objects have always moved me somehow and to see such an array is just unbelievably compelling. I have to admit, I love yours the best! ALL of your pieces are somehow so haunting and complex and memorable. Thanks for such a treat!"
"I am just overwhelmed by the Memory Jars CD. It is the most comprehensive and inclusive work on them that I have ever encountered. I am so grateful to have found your website, and thrilled to have ordered the CD."
"I received the CD yesterday and watched it through with great interest (avid, I should say). I am very impressed by your scholarship, your collections, and–of course–the memory jugs themselves."
"Received the CD and have only had time to skim it, but my initial reaction is (and you may quote me) "OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG! The photographs alone were enough to make me hyperventilate."
"It's arrived!... and it's FANTASTIC!!... better than I even expected... and I expected it to be really good!! Thank you!"
"What an amazing art form you have taught to others. As far as memory preservation, it beats scrapbooking any day!!!"
"The cd is full of all the information one needs to make these crazy folksy works of art. I bought and love it. BUY it!"
"I purchased your CD recently from ebay.....OMG I love it!!!! Can not wait to try one on my own."
"Your jugs are more authentic and thought provoking than other modern ones I have seen."
"AWESOME e-book I can't wait to make one. GREAT CD and PICS. Thanks so much!!"
"I am enjoying the CD so much. There is a wealth of information on it. Thank you!"

Laurie,
Your very generous to share your talents and acknowledge with us. I love your site. I found you from Gayle at Vintage Green and so happy I did. The jugs featured in Art Making are wonderful.
Looking forward to your CD and creating my own Memory Jug
Thanks, Kathy
