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 Custom Communion Cups5.0What more can I say? I had a very pleasant experience working with Brent Long on my custom project - which I am very pleased with. He was patient with my requests, and the finished product is lovely! He was very professional in all his communications, is an excellent craftsman, and was easy to work with. Thank you!

For Brian O'Donohue: (refer to previous conversation)3.0A nice guy who was kind enough to send a couple of pictures as it was in production, but the mug turned out smaller than I had hoped for and the lettering and color on the mug was not consistent. I would have liked to see the cup much larger and the color more even and uniform across the project. It's also difficult to read the lettering on one side of the mug.

For Communion Chalice And Paten - "Grace"5.0I found Brent to be friendly and professional. The pottery that our church received was extremely high quality and creative. Brent was able to adjust to a change order quickly. Everything about this project was top notch. I would recommend this man's work to anybody.
