Desert Rock Pottery was founded in 2014 by John Shachter, a disabled veteran who started taking classes in a recreational therapy program offered by the Phoenix, AZ Veterans Administration Hospital. Since then, the business has gone from strength to strength.
Items available from the new online store include a slab formed teepee incense burner with amber brown glaze. The piece is decorative yet functional and could be placed on a mantle, the end of a table, or as a centerpiece. Either way, it is likely to be a conversation starter.
It was formed using a slab of clay that was decorated using a stamp before being wrapped around a cone shaped mold. The piece was bisque fired, glazed with an amber-brown glaze, and then fired again. It includes a small tray to hold a cube or cone incense.
Other items available include a small brass glazed Raku fired dry flower vase, which was formed, bisque fired, and then finished with a brass Raku glaze. It was then fired in a Raku kiln up to the correct temperature and put into a Raku reduction chamber with combustible materials. It is ideal for dry items as foods or liquids will degrade the vessel over time due to the Raku process.
A spokesperson said: “In line with our objectives for 2020, we have totally revamped our site to include many new and exciting features including a blog! You can find out more about what has been going on this past six months and what has led to the changes we have made.”
