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.

    It is a beautiful set and I love it. The only problem is that it isn't the colors I thought I was ordering. That must have been a mix-up in my description of which picture I wanted and Brent's listing the glazes by name which I was not familiar with. I wanted the much lighter colors and the two color paten as I already have several darker colored sets. However, the workmanship is excellent and I will be using this new set during Holy Week at my churches. The experience with this artist was great!

    I 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.

    A 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.

    I have a quick question regarding the invoice that was in the box with our new communion set. The invoice was for $173.93 but my credit card was charged $195.00. Will I see a credit on my credit card for $21.07???
