All Fired Up

Great place. Super, relaxed atmosphere. Fun and calm at the same time. Everyone who works there is very helpful and hip!

We brought our own hand-​made pieces to paint there. They came out looking good.
The staff is friendly and they offer as much help as you want and gave us our space. The shop itself is nice. It’s fairly small, but we weren’t crowded at all.

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about my experience here. I came here on a date.
They have a broad selection of items to paint, and tons of colors to choose from! They offer different programs for adults and kids, and usually you can find a coupon floating around on the internet to make your experience a tad cheaper.
GREAT FOR KIDS!!! I would definitely recommend it!

This place is awesome! I purchased a Groupon for 2 for $ 32 dollars which was worth $ 60 in the studio. My friend and I went this afternoon and we had a blast. Very relaxing but also fun. Large selection of pottery to choose from as well as a large selection of paints. You are able to bring food and alcohol if you would like. The staff who were working were very friendly and personable. They knew their stuff which was important especially when it came to the colors. Very laid back atmosphere. We will be picking up our coffee mugs and coasters in a couple weeks and we will certainly be back to make more!

This place is great and there are Living Social deals often ($ 15 for $ 30 worth of merchandise, which they allow you to spend like a gift card). For those who haven’t been here before, you are given a short tutorial on the different paints and finishes and how to achiever different looks on your pottery/​plate/​whatever you choose. You get to choose your paint brushes, as many paint colors and trays as you would like, different tools/​pens, etc. to make your creation. Their selection of items to paint is really vast, and I have seen many different types of people here, from kids’ parties to girls’ night out to everything in-​between.
All in all a great time.
My favorite part is that the workers seem to actually enjoy working there. Imagine that. :)

Such a fun way to relax. You go in and pick from a big selection of pottery. They have paints and brushes, nothing left to bring. You can however bring food and drinks they have diva nights which are very fun, usually themed. Perfect ladies night out. Make sure to get the punch card and on your 6^th punch you have a free sitting fee.

This was definitely a good time and I highly suggest going with a friend or two who have done this before and know the ins and outs.
My friend made reservations for our small group and, when we arrived, a table was set up for us. It was a bit overwhelming trying to choose a piece to paint (and then trying to decide on colors and design ideas).
I won’t lie — the prices were a little steeper than I anticipated, plus there is a sitting fee. All of the brushes, stencils, sponges and paints are set up in one section. There are books with design ideas, too.
The service was ok. They come around and write up a form with your name and what you’re painting, which they use to check you out when you pay.
Tip: if you plan on going more than a few times, get the yellow card (after five paid sitting fees, you get one free sitting fee).

My husband and I came here for date night on Friday and had the best time! We brought dessert and coffee, picked out our pieces, and got to work. The staff was pleasant and helpful, explaining each part of the process and giving useful tips. There is no limit to your creativity. Art therapy at its best. We will pick up our finished pieces in a couple of weeks. Can’t wait!

First date fun!
My date came across this place via a LivingSocial deal and we thought it would be a fun activity date.
So this is a pick-​out-​a-​piece-​place-​and-​paint it. Thought at first it might have been a pottery type place.
They have a large selection of ceramic pieces to pick from… everything from plates and vases to mugs and picture frames. The prices are a bit steep (ex: ceramic mug was $ 15) and there is an $ 8 sitting fee.
Soooo you are seated at a table, given instructions (were paint is etc.) and then you’re left to your own devices!
When you’re finished you leave everything where it is!
The patr I was not aware of was that you have to LEAVE your newly created piece so that it can be glazed then baked. Ours won’t be ready until the 20^th (10 days from now).
So may not be the best FIRST date place in case it doesn’t work out but it’s def funand would go again.

I have come here several times and each time has been a great experience.
The first time I had a groupon which saved quite a bit of money. I came in with my fiancé and we painted something together. We were running a little behind and the staff even let us stay with them 30 minutes past closing! This was nice and much appreciated.
The next time I came there I took my time and painted a frame for a gift. I sat outside in the pretty weather until it started to rain and then they found a spot for me inside to paint.
I loved the freedom of picking the colors myself and pouring them myself. There were so many different types of projects to choose from too!
Great experience each time, easy pick up when they were done.
A 5 star experience for sure!

This is a really nice place to come with friends, and seems kid friendly as well.
The pieces can be pricey, but it makes for a good and relaxing time. They encourage you to bring food and byob if you want to.
Some colors you see displayed on the wall are not available to grab, so you just have to
ask and they’ll give it to you along with special pens to write on the ceramic.
They make you feel at home, and the lady wouldn’t let my friend and I clean up our space. She insisted we leave everything and she cleared it all up for us, which I thought was super nice and wasn’t expecting that kind of treatment.
There’s usually an $ 8 sitting fee, unless there’s a special going on a certain day of the month. You can check out the calendar on their website, and there’s also plenty other events like diva night, glass fusing, activities for kids… I was surprised to see all of this and it makes me want to come back again soon.
Bring your spirit and creativity and have fun.

I have visited AFU several times to paint pottery with my children and visitors. It is a very comfortable environment with a super friendly staff. AFU goes above and beyond in the activities department.
Painting pottery is a great way to relieve stress. You can bring in a snack and drink, too.

Really neat place! I painted a coffee mug for myself. The only limit here is your own creativity.
Kinda pricey, but worth it in the long run, since you can truly customize great gifts. I plan on painting an Italian pasta bowl for my grandma for a Christmas gift this year — I think she’ll love it!

I truly enjoy painting at All Fired Up and love having my finished pieces all over my home. The staff are very friendly and willing to explain techniques to less experienced artists (like myself). The owners have also been kind enough to order glass fusing supplies to suit a specific project I had in mind. I’m giving 4 stars because it can be a little hectic at times when they are busy (it seems more and more often that reservations are needed) and because the bisque is pricier than at other studios I’ve visited.

I’ve seen many living social deals/​groupons for these type of activities. I think this place is great whether you are a kid, teenager, or adult. I came here with the boyfriend for a Friday night date. We made reservations prior and entered the place very confused at first. The employees were helpful but not that helpful I felt like. We were confused on the whole process and everything and felt like they could of explained things more clear for us newbies. Deduct one star for that. But other than that we had a blast painting our potteries. There was a few other couples there as well for their dates as well as groups of friends of all ages. This place is Byob as well and you can bring in snacks/​dinner as well although I think it could be distracting. Overall we had a great experience and its def something cool and different to try to get your artistic side out.

Always a fun time, and now they have squeeze bottles that you can use to make thinner lines if you’re clumsy with a paintbrush like me. :-)

I had a great time there the other day for a birthday party. They’re food and byob friendly and the place was packed. I would have liked a little more time with instruction but I figured it out okay on my own.
Note: You pay at the end and you can use level up!
Bisque is on the pricey side. The cheapest thing I saw was $ 9 for a tiny little condiment dish. I picked a soup bowl for $ 18. There’s also a sitting fee. Just be prepared to spend money when you come.
Pieces generally are finished being fired and glazed 1 – 2 weeks after you finish painting.

We had a great time at All Fired Up yesterday. We did not know that reservations were required or encouraged (if this information is on the website, it’s not obvious enough), but luckily they were able to accomodate my husband and I. That is, after the woman behind the counter looked at us like we had 3 heads.
Regardless, we picked out our pieces and got t work. This place has a huge selection of pieces to choose from, including little figurines, decorative pieces, dishes, cups/​mugs, bowls, and kitchen/​counter top accessories, in a wide range of prices. There were definitely a few things there that I would like to go back and paint for my home.
After picking out our pieces, we were given a run though of what to do, and we got to work. We found the experience very relaxing. Although the place was packed, it was rather quiet, as everyone concentrated on their pieces.
I will definitely be back to paint more!

Just tried this place for the first time with my mom — can I say FUN, FUN, FUN!!! The ladies at the counter are super nice and they help you create and decorate (even though I’m the most non-​artistic person every!). They have a ton of specials and fun events, from girls night, to kids nights, to discount disco nights (am I making stuff up?). LOL The place is fun, relaxing, BYOB, and you will have a great time. P. s. This is my new go-​to place for gift making. :)

I’ve been to many Paint your own places and what I really liked about this was the selection of items to paint, the space/​unlimited time given to complete projects and the awesome environment to be creative
But most importantly the type of paints they use
Other places use non fast-​drying paints so you have to get up each coat and hold a hair dryer over your piece… each time and you have 4 coats
What a pain! These dry within a minute or two – you can see it drying as you work on other sections
I’ve been to DIVA nights with girlfriends and had a blast and I’ve also spent entire days working on projects here
Do yourself a favor and bring some scrap paper to plan out your designs and any other specialty items – stamps/​tape/​stencils etc
And don’t do a giant piece until you really have a handle on the time it takes to complete and how to paint it ie your direction/​pressure/​etc on your brushstrokes matter!
Thankfully Wawa is nearby so you can stock up on snacks and fuel if needed :)
