There was a time when my pottery looked like everyone else’s, with the primary goal being to sell as many pots as possible. However, I soon realized that my work was losing its individuality, and that's what inspired me to break the mold and find my unique voice in pottery. Join me, Nic Torres, as I share my journey from a typical glaze potter to finding my distinct style. Hear about the struggles, the joys, and the life-changing realization that pottery is more than just a means to make money—it's a passion, a form of self-expression, and a pathway to happiness. 

In this heart-to-heart conversation, I take you through my early years in pottery, my decision to move away from the mainstream, and how interviewing other potters helped me appreciate the significance of finding one's unique voice. I'll share how the pursuit of individuality not only brought me a sense of fulfillment but also drew more people towards my work. Listen in to learn why, as potters, we should strive for distinction and not just mimic what's already out there. Let's celebrate the joy of pottery, and remember, it's not just about the sales—it's about the happiness that crafting each unique piece brings!
