I suppose it depends on how much control you need in your creative processes. In casting I seem to need a lot of control--sometimes the surprises are welcome, but most times not. So...the folks that toss a bunch of glass into the kiln and come out with something gorgeous, completely by accident--are they being creative or just being lucky?

I'm trying to learn to do the same by using a system based on what I've learnt in my nursing career. It goes like this, Expertise in a subject develops when propositions, hypotheses and expectations are tested and refined in practice. Experience is when preconceived notions and expectations are challenged, refined or disconfirmed by the actual situation. Such as building your mold. The knowledge you've embedded and reflected on by making that piece, will go on to inform the next, thus leading to you becoming more expert. Therefore, experience is a requisite for expertise. I'm sure this can be translated to the creative process as well. What do you think? I know I am learning a lot from your posts. Thanks Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the creative process.
