I also share with my students that by making a dish only one time does not make them an expert. I show them one of my vases and share about the imperfections in the piece itself. I share the theory of 10, 100, 1000. If you make something 10 times you begin to understand the basics, make it 100 times and now you can see how all the components comes together, make it 1000 times you have mastered the technique and fully understand the entire concept. Then the process starts over again with a new project.
