I started learning pottery at 43. Four years later I'm decent at it. It's all about practice. I do two hours of classes and two hours of practice each week.

Some people in my class started learning after me but put in many more hours of practice, and are a lot better than I am (and also started as adults in their 30s and 40s).

I also started doing drawing classes with my daughter during the pandemic. I'm not very good at it because I only did it once a week for an hour, but I got better!

It's really just all about practice.
