About Us

Brent grew up in a large and loving Salt Lake City family. He has a quirky, wry sense of humor that shines through in the faces and poses of many of his animal pieces. Brent and his wife, Briary, live in Utah and enjoy the arts and outdoors together.

Brent Hale's ceramic pieces are each hand-designed and unique. He is greatly inspired by the flora and fauna of the southwest and ancient art relics from around the world. Brent has developed an unusual technique with clay to ensure his finished pieces don't lose their intended shape. Little cracks are left behind to reflect the handmade process and give personality to each piece. Brent will often use stains instead of glazes to accentuate or give interest to important details such as fur, scales and wrinkles on the skin.
