I'm reasonably sure that it was a pottery class (or study) in which students/study participants were asked to produce either the best piece they could think of or as many as possible. I think it was actually a study that I read about.

It might need some internet sleuthing to find it. I'll try later.

I do not think that it is surprising that practice improves skills though (well, except for people with an exceptionally fixed mindset ;).
