Critique is a hard thing to do, for this reason I generally don't critique other peoples work, if I like something then I will say.
One of my concerns is that unless I know the turner, how long they have been turning, what they intended with the piece in relation to their decided outcome they it is very hard for me to give a critique.
Also I am very conscious that without care a critique can greatly demoralize the maker, so as has been said a critique for me should be carefully constructed.
Of course there is the professional art critique that often rips apart a persons work

I'm glad I am not an artist

It is a hard process but if we are honest, considerate an constructive then a critique can help a great deal.
My favorite is to be very self critical, in this we can be really honest with ourselves without telling others what we think

Which ever way critiques are difficult for both the maker putting their work up for such as well as the person giving the critique.
