Failures

I feel like my time is scarce, and in fact it is. Whatever free time I have, I make pottery. So it was a big disappointment to have such a bad glaze firing.
But since I started learning ceramics all my teachers always said: prior doing something new, specially with glazes, test first. I never did it since I have no kiln. The firings at that school happened 3-4 times a year, so never tested in advance.
But I know what happened with this one. The velvets are not compatible with my recycled clay and all of them peeled off.
After so many disappointments with end results I feel like stopping make it. Shall I do it?
How much longer I would have to experiment to have beautiful pieces?
