In this episode of 'Shaping Your Pottery' with Nic Torres, he challenges potters to step beyond their comfort zones and try different pottery techniques. Nic discusses how sticking to one technique or method can limit creativity and growth. He presents examples of how exploring alternate methods can broaden the range of styles and techniques a potter can use to develop a unique pottery voice. He encourages wheel throwers to try hand building and sculpting, and for sculptors to try raccoon and other techniques. The main idea expressed is that experimenting with various techniques leads to expansion of knowledge and enhancement of one’s pottery skills. Torres includes an offer for a free booklet of 15 questions, designed to help potters discover their unique voice.
