xmassistersnpiecesLook how well my lil sistas can paint!!!  They are ever so creative and their ideas spread like wildfires!!!!  Bring your kids in for hand print painting and a GOOD time!  Just when you think “I am so not an artist” come to Fired Up and we will show you just how talented you really are!!  Sometimes you just need a patient teacher to guide you thru the process and that is what I am here for!  OPEN everyday and ready to paint, roll out clay, or throw on the potters wheel.  Leave your doubt at the door and be prepared to enjoy yourself!

Potters for Peace

Every day 5,000 children die due to unsanitary water, (WHO 2005). Since 1998 copy-of-filters-studio-002.jpgPotters for Peace has traveled the world teaching the fabrication of a low-cost ceramic water filter, helping to bring clean, potable water to those who need it most.  This was brought to my attention by a student who made a low fire ceramic water filter for her class project.  Remember this for your next assignment!
