In my experience, the best work seems to arrive of itself, when I am in harmony with the material, be it physical, or mental (like writing a poem). The striving might be there in the beginning, but it falls away in connecting to the process of listening and responding to the material.
The examples I see of your ceramics are so beautiful, I can't help but think this is happening with you, too- though I know it takes a lot of wobbles to get there! Though I must say, wobbly is beautiful, too.
Getting honest feedback helps an artist to grow.
Accepting honest feedback can be difficult, though.

Yes, it is very hard. Especially when we think they are wrong. The problem is when there are 5 feedbacks and we feel 4 are wrong. 😅
