Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

When you arrive at the studio, we'll give you a clipboard to keep track of your piece and colors. We have hundreds of pieces for you to chose from. Once you've picked your piece, you can take it from the shelf to a table of you choice. You then select your colors and fill your palette. After you've completed the painting, you can leave everything at your table and go to the front desk to check out. We're happy to clean up for you.

What should I bring?

We provide everything you need including a fun, creative, and relaxing atmosphere. We have a great design center which includes stencils, stamps, sponges, and design ideas. All of the paint washes out of clothing so there's no need for smocks.  We have a gigantic chalk board which kids can color on if they finish painting first.

How long does it take to paint?

The average person spends about an hour and a half painting. With young children it depends on their attention span. However, there is no time limit; you are welcome to take as long as you need. You can even take it home and come back another day to finish your piece.

How long till I can pick my pottery up?

Our studios run on a 7 day schedule. For example: if you paint Monday, your pieces will be ready for pickup Monday morning. Please note: due to our amount of business during the holiday seasons our schedule can change. This usually occurs around Dec. 1 and a few weeks before Mother's day. Be sure to allow plenty of time if you plan on making a gift.

What does it cost?

The price of a pottery piece ranges from $6.00 to $60.00. For example, mugs are $16.00 to $20.00, plates range from $16.00 to $25.00. Mosaic pieces run from $25.00 to $55.00. All Fired Up prices are all inclusive. All of our pottery is labeled with the price. There are no extra fees. The paint, glaze and studio time are free!

Is my child old enough?

All ages are welcome in our studios. Putting children's hand prints on pottery is always popular for the younger ages. We also have small animal figurines and cute little boxes, kids love to paint.

Are the dishes food safe?

All of our paint and glazes are lead free and nontoxic. After the pieces have been fired they are totally safe to use and eat from.

Are the dishes microwave and dishwasher safe?

The glaze on ceramic tends to crack when it is heated and cooled too quickly. This is called crazing. To avoid this process we recommend you do not put your pottery in a microwave or dishwasher.

Can I bring food and drinks?

Yes, you can bring food and drinks, including beer and wine. Please note: for birthday parties we do not allow pizza in the studio.

I've never done this before, will somebody help me?

Absolutely! We love to help people with the painting process and design ideas. Please, feel free to ask for any assistance you may need.
