Fired Up Pottery in Madison, WisconsinFridayFriday 3/27/2020 noon A word about COVID-19 Virus We are now closed due to the emergency order. If you have pottery to paint, you may contact Kim@FiredUpPottery.com to discuss options, and to say hi. We are looking forward to resuming operations later.
If you have finished pottery to pick up, you can arrange a time with Kim by emailing her at Kim@FiredUpPottery.com
I have not yet figured out a way to forward the store phone, so I am checking messages once a week. Repeating your phone number twice slowly helps me to return your call when you leave a message.
We are canceling all pottery wheel classes, birthday parties and other events until normal operations resume.You can either reschedule or we can refund your money .
Gnome classes on March 29 we will be doing with a video, and you can pick up a gnome kit at Fired Up Pottery and make it at home.
I'm sure many will have questions, (hey we do too!) and this is a super fluid situation so you will see more emails from me. Stay safe and be smart. No one else is saying this, but I will... don't eat raw food.
So... give us a call at 608-442-9900 and we can help you.
*****************************ARCHIVED BELOW*********************I could not figure out how to pause this part... so for now ignore. Thanks.
In a normal world (not now)…. How does Fired Up Pottery work? You walk in, and we help you get started with an art project. Allow an hour to 90 minutes for most projects. Pieces are ready in about 7 to 10 days. (See explanation below why it takes so long...) We also ship finished projects. Most people start with Pottery painting or Glass fusing. Glass fusing is easy, it is like making a sugar cookie; you put glass on top of glass and glue it. We put it in the kiln and fuse it together. People are surprised when we say we do art with all ages, including babies and toddlers.
Projects for babies: Hand and Foot Print art using paint, of course! We will help you with the prints and writing. If you want clay prints, you must make an appointment.
Projects for Toddlers: Let them paint in medium to light colors and we can also add a hand or foot print with paint.
Projects for kids under 6: They are also great ages to do hand or footprint art. They also like to use a lot of color when painting, and are becoming interested in making art the "right" color, so we see more brown dogs and less purple dogs. They are interested in painting the entire piece, leaving less white space than they did when younger. Kids this age make great art! We also have a Kids on the Pottery Wheel class for ages 3 and up ($25).
Why does the pottery take 7-10 days to get back? Our kilns are big, and it takes two days to fire a project from load to unload. We have to have enough art to run the kilns, and for most weeks that means we run the kilns twice a week. After you paint, we dip the pieces in clear glaze to make them shiny, and so all the clay is covered. We let that clear coat dry, then we load them into the kiln on stilts. Kiln loading takes a couple of hours. After unloading the kiln, we check the pieces over and if there is a flaw (rare!) we will fix it and refire, which uses up a couple more days. We then Dremel the sharp points off the bottom of the piece, match it with your name and contact you.
It is a great day to create art.
Make some memories today.
Testimonials: Iris from Madison: My niece an I had fun doing this together. We could each do our own things and be creative in our own unique ways. I can't wait to see how our projects turn out.
Sawyer (9 years old): I really like arts and crafts and its relaxing"
Cole: My girlfriend and I came for a pottery class for an anniversary, and let me tell you it was so much fun. The instructor Kim was cheerful, knowledgeable, and very patient. She was excellent at gauging your skill level and helping where you need it. If you are looking to take a pottery class this is the one for you! So much fun, I know I already said that but it need to be said again
A review on YELP: "What a great place to relax during a blizzard! A friend and I decided to check it out on a snowy afternoon and they have a great selection of pottery to paint, from small ornaments or figurines to large plates and bowls. The owner and her staff were incredibly patient and helpful, walking us through the step by step process to ensure we felt confident with the projects we chose...."It was so fun and relaxing! (It actually cured my hangover.)
From Abbi in Madison: "Coming to Fired Up Pottery is a great tradition for my grandchildren. We have been coming since they were small. I enjoy seeing how their art changes as they grow".
From Brad (a workplace event): We had a wonderful time at Fisher King Winery in Verona with Alex and Kim. (You) helped us all make imaginative beautiful fused glass objects. I appreciated the opportunity to push my imagination in creating our glass creations. My night light turned out great. Thanks!"
