Shaping Your Pottery with Nic Torres

#311: 3 reasons to do commissioned pottery and 3 reasons not to


Listen Later

Listen in as I, Nic Torres, explore the multifaceted world of commission pottery, guiding you through the perks and pitfalls of custom ceramic creations. I kick things off by revealing how commissioned work can significantly enhance your pottery skills, pushing you to craft one-of-a-kind pieces that can not only broaden your artistic repertoire but also fill your pockets. Embrace the challenge as it thrusts you out of your comfort zone, compelling you to grow as an artist and discover new dimensions within your craft.

But it's not all smooth spinning on the pottery wheel—tune in as I also unpack the potential downsides of commission work. Dealing with the unpredictability of customer demands can lead to frustrating scenarios where your hard work doesn't see the light of day—or the inside of a kiln. Plus, I'll discuss how creative freedom can be stifled when your artistic expression is bound to the specifications of a client's vision. Whether you're a seasoned potter or your hands have only recently met the clay, this conversation is tailored to give you a balanced perspective on navigating the world of commissioned pottery.
