Don't understand what you mean, Monnie.

[eta] Oh hang on, yes I do. I don;t think the important thing there was the fact that you were colouring the pots, so much as making them into individual expressions. A 'pot' is a fairly generic and practical thing. But if the pot is effectively another canvass, it becomes an example of artistic expression.

I think she's referring to my saying she colored the ceramics.

edit - Yeah, you got it.

If an art museum will exhibit it, it's art. Even if it's not.

Nick Schade built a beautiful wooden kayak that's on display at the New York Museum of Modern Art. It's a very pretty boat, in my opinion, but not art.

Same with a Sam Maloof chair in the Renwick.
