Learning new skills is important - not only for artists but for people in general. On my docket for artistic cross-training I'm learning to throw on the wheel.
Another important thing is learning how to fail. Failure is actually a good thing! When you fail at something, you learn what not to do in the future. So here is my proud failure of the day: a little tiny cup that got way too wet and started to slump over.
I failed, recognized my mistake, and managed to keep this little guy together and not overwork him so at least I didn't fail too hard. Next time, I know what not to do, and that's very important.
