About Us

Fired Up Studios was created in 1998 to provide the space and equipment to allow clay artists and potters of all levels to explore their creativity and work in a supportive environment. Fired Up offers a variety of options including studio membership, firing membership, and instruction.

Our Mission

Our mission is for our members to have fun and leave Fired Up in a better mood than when they arrived!

Our History

The original concept of Fired Up Studios was to meet the needs of hobbyist potters by developing a place where they could create and get their work fired. Our mission statement (which always got a few giggles) was for our customers to have fun and leave in a better mood than when they arrived. This meant creating a place that was comfortable, non-judgemental, and respectful of all the creations our members made.

Since the spring of 1998 when we first opened our doors, we have grown a lot: from 2400 square feet to 10,000 square feet; from 2 wheels, 1 electric kiln, and 6 glazes to 20 wheels, 3 electric kilns, and over 20 glazes. We added a members gallery (open 6 days a week) and several classes and workshops. We kick-off the holiday shopping season with an annual celebration which always includes a silent auction where the proceeds are given to benefit a deserving non-profit organization. Our membership has grown and now includes both hobbyists and professional potters.

What has not changed is our mission: for our customers to have fun and leave in a better mood than when they arrived. And according to our members, we are doing a good job.
