Wheel-thrown stoneware pottery communion chalice, pitcher and paten set. The first set shown is glazed in Sandstone, Espresso, and Floating Blue glazes. The paten (plate) is hand-inscribed with "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you." The second set shown is glazed in Denim Blue and Espresso glazes. Also shown are patens with a quote from Meister Eckhart, "Grace pours all beauty into the soul." and "Do this in remembrance of me". Or I can also inscribe with a different short quote of your choice.

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.

For Baptismal Font And PitcherI 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!
