Brent Long
B.e.Long Pottery and Arts
Handmade stoneware pottery and arts reconnecting us to what is soulful and sacred. I am a former Presbyterian pastor (PCUSA) of nearly 17 years; still ordained but now exploring new forms of theology and ministry. My theology has evolved into a very open, "historical-critical" interpretive theology that longs for more interfaith dialogue. Essentially, it asks how we can be more fully human, which means more loving and more peaceful. I hope my pottery and art will reflect that theology and encourage others to explore the depths of their spirit too.
One of the exquisite characteristics of pottery is that it brings the richness of the earth shaped into beautiful forms into your home to be used every day. The clay I use is stoneware clay which is fired to cone 5 (mid-fire) and it has pulverized pieces of other fired clay in it to give it grit and texture, because as we know, life requires grit and texture even as we seek to shape it into something beautiful and colorful.

Sep 12, 2018I ordered these bowls as a gift for friends and their new puppy back in July. I expected to wait awhile for delivery because they are custom made; Mr Long was honest about the time involved from the start. He asked what I wanted and delivered beautiful bowls I am happy to give my friends. The cost was very low considering the quality and artistry of the final product. It's obvious this artist truly loved what he does and I will definitely order from him again.

Dec 14, 2020I ordered custom sacramental ware— communion chalice, paten, and pitcher and matching baptismal font and pitcher. I was surprised how affordable these custom made items were. Mr. Long was extremely easy to work with and professional. The finished items were delivered exactly when promised. Most importantly they are a beautiful addition to the sanctuary and barring a terrible accident, the church will be blessed to use them for many years to come. Thank you!

Jan 4, 2016We are very happy with the product that we received. It arrived safely and on time and was even more beautiful in person than we thought it would be. In addition, we made a request for a larger sized bowl and Brent pulled through with it looking fantastic.
