Welcome back to Faucets Of Reality. After somewhat of a hiatus I’m back with a fresh episode and let me tell you this one was incredible. Help me welcome Jackie Padich (@jackielope.land on instagram), pottery teacher and psychonaut extraordinaire, for truly the best conversation I’ve had in many months. Please enjoy and leave feedback. Thanks for being here!Note from Jackie:Some amendments to technical information about clay! (I’m a little rusty 🙃)

•The umbrella term for what all types of clay are decomposed from is a Mother Quartz although feldspars are under this umbrella.

•The rock that it is weathered from is not necessarily from a mountain top and as the clay travels from its original source it can pick up iron and many other types of natural materials.

•It is called crystobolite inversion not conversion and depending on the temperature reached it can also be a quartz inversion.

P.S. The mug (one of my everyday go-tos) is made by Jason Hartsoe on instagram as @hartsoepottery! Highly recommend 🫡

P.P.S. I want to give a shout out to my teacher Miranda Thomas (aka Wink) she can be found on instagram as @mirandathomaspottery
