Nic Torres highlights the importance of breaking away from routine to foster creativity in pottery making. He shares an anecdote of Nicole Dacey, who found inspiration after a trip to Joshua Tree during COVID-19 lockdown. Torres stresses the importance of taking breaks from normal everyday stuff to allow new ideas to flow and avoid getting stuck in repetitive tasks. Whether it's exploring different pottery styles, or simply taking some time to relax, making this a regular part of your schedule can make a big difference.
