In this episode, Nic Torres shares three essential factors to consider in developing a unique 'pottery voice'. The first is making time to regularly work in the studio, which is deemed as nearly half the journey. The second is focusing on shapes, which can introduce a wide variety of ideas for personal pottery expressions. To do this, Nic recommends observing and taking note of shapes and forms from other pottery works on platforms like Instagram. The last factor is making time for experimentation, and incorporating one or two experimental pieces into each batch of work. Through these approaches, developing a distinct pottery voice becomes more achievable.
