  • This podcast helps stretch you creatively…and find your “voice” in your work.

    I’m 25+ years removed from pottery, but recently dusted off my wheel and am currently searching for my “voice”. My regular job has me in the car for several hours a week so I listen to a lot of podcasts. Shaping your Pottery is very thought provoking and I find that it has me thinking about my work and stretching me creatively. Love it!! Thanks, Nic for all you do!!
