In this podcast episode, host Nic Torres discusses how he incorporated five different pottery techniques into his own work. He emphasizes the importance of observing other people's pottery, but adapting and shaping them based on personal preferences rather than blindly copying them. He uses the examples of sculpting and underglazing techniques he admired in the work of other potters and talks about how he applied these methods while also retaining his own unique style. Nic concludes by sharing and inviting listeners to visit his website for a collection of 53 different themes they can apply to their pottery to avoid creative burnout and establish a distinctive style.  Get your 53 themes by clicking this link shapingyourpottery.com/53themes
