Summary
Nick LaPointe started throwing pots about 25 years ago at Santa Barbara City College and has been doing pottery ever since. Like many potters, Nick fell in love with the process of throwing and creating handmade art immediately. And about 6 years ago Nick started carving wood grains into his mugs experimenting with designs and ideas, working with other potters on collaborations, and throwing as much as he could! It's been an amazing journey up to now and he can't wait to see what the future brings!

| 0:14.0 | Hey, welcome to episode number 1,144 of the Potter's cast. |
| 0:28.0 | We've got a cool potter coming on the show today, and this is his second time on the show. |

| 1:50.3 | and maybe circumstances change therefore our practices may change and the idea of like a |
| 1:56.5 | website it's just a tool there's nothing more than that. It's a tool, nothing more. And so using that |
| 2:03.9 | for your business is basically one way of being able to do things. So having said that, I think it's |
