Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. Focus on one aspect of pottery at a time: Sam Briegel emphasizes the importance of compartmentalizing pottery explorations to avoid feeling overwhelmed. By focusing on form, color, or other elements individually, artists can improve their skills and understanding of the craft.
2. Be truthful to yourself and embrace vulnerability: Briegel suggests being honest about one's interests and preferences when creating pottery, even if it feels scary. This approach leads to more authentic and original work, helping artists find their unique voice in pottery.
3. Be selfish in your pottery-making process: Artists should prioritize the aspects of pottery they enjoy and feel passionate about, rather than trying to conform to trends or please others. By being selfish in their creative process, artists will create pottery that resonates with their true selves and attracts the right audience.
