This Episode features a detailed interview with a potter named Don Ricardo, who shares his journey and techniques in pottery making. He emphasizes the importance of having fun, experimenting, and the joy in creating pottery, whether for functional use or as an art form. Don began pottery to create unique pots for his succulents and bonsai companion plants, which evolved into a successful venture due to a lack of affordable, cool pots. He discusses trusting the journey, using self-made tools, and the significance of experimenting and breaking rules to find one's unique voice in pottery. Don highlights the concept of making art for personal joy rather than commercial success, using the 'muffin story' to illustrate his point. He also explores deeper themes in his work such as ancient civilizations and mass extinctions, reflecting on the temporal nature of society. Throughout the script, Don shares his techniques like the 'Slam, Scoop and Cut' and the 'Cut and Twist,' showcasing his innovative approach to pottery. The script concludes with Don's advice for aspiring potters to find their unique voice by doing in-depth research, breaking rules, and prioritizing personal satisfaction over commercial success.
