Fired Up Pottery and Art
Description
Paint your own pottery and much more. We offer canvas painting event classes, private parties, birthday parties, painting classes and wheel throwing. Our shop was started the same way all shops get going. We had passion. We had a dream. And we had a bit too much determination. Our town is a wonderful place to live, but like most towns, it was lacking is things to do. I don't mean 'do' as in go out and get dinner. That is always a great idea, but once you're done; it is too. I wanted to bring an aspect of fun to our area that wasn't yet present. So, with the help of people I care about, we set out to have some fun.
We opened our shop in November of 2012. It seems so long ago but at the same time, so recent. We love our place! More importantly, we love our customers! Many people that come in and spend time with us are people who will come in for hours with their families. They sit, laugh, pick on each other, and the best part is they make memories! Not just a piece of art they can pick out and buy at a regular retail store...these pieces are ones they make with their own hands for one another. That is incredible! To watch a child and parent bond over a simple mug design is a beautiful thing to witness.
We do so much in our little shop! There is always something to paint here. We do: Ceramics and Pottery Painting/Glazing; Canvas Painting; Barn Wood Painting; and Glass Painting. If you're not in a 'paint' mood, we also have assorted clay. From Porcelain to Terracotta, we have enough to go around. We host wheel classes where people can make their own mugs, bowls, and plates. We also have simple hand building classes where you can take your time and make anything you can think of. Lastly, but definitely not the least, we do Canvas/Barn Wood Painting Classes multiple times a month! So many people come in and put their own flare on a simple design to create amazing masterpieces!
Some days, it gets fuzzy on why we work the long hours we do...but it all gets clear when we see the impact we have on the community! It is our goal to keep families doing things together, to provide a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of your day, help out with date night, or help other take care of party planning and worrying! We are always around to help out when we can, and we love that we are able to do it with art!
