I was so amazed by this studio! Not just because there were incredibly beautiful handmade items, but because it was actually affordable for a regular girl like me! I feel like you walk into some galleries that you can buy merchandise in and there’s NOWAY you could afford the pieces of art unless you were a millionaire(or won the lottery, whatev). Here, you’ll find totally affordable pieces that are still incredibly beautiful and great to take home or buy as a gift. I spied pottery type vases for only $ 30, glass vases for $ 60 and other sets for the kitchen around $ 100. A price for anyone! There’s a mix of pottery, glass, woodwork and a small selection of paintings. Most of the items are pottery or glass though. You can either pick from totally functional pieces for your kitchen or pieces of art to display in your house. You know, those fancy bowls you can turn into art on the walls. And I thought it was just one room, but then you just walk into the front room and there’s a whole other room in the back filled with ton of other amazing treasures! Again, if I was a millionaire, I could have picked out a ton of pieces for my own house between the kitchenware, art and glass items. I felt as if I could own my own part of a Chihuly, without spending the money! I loved the fancy glass vases, pottery tea pots and pottery sushi sets. Since it was Christmas, they also had some beautiful hand blown glass ornaments hanging in I’m telling you, if you need a unique gift for someone, or you’re looking for a non-Ikea type place to decorate your walls with, this is the place to visit! I swear, you won’t regret it!

I’ve purchased a couple of items from this studio and I’ve been thrilled with both of them. One was a gift and the other was for myself. If you want to find a good, locally made product for a number of gift-giving occasions, you should stop by Fireborn. There really seem to be endless possibilities available with what the owner of this shop crafts. While I have to admit, its a bit odd to be followed around the store as though I were a convicted shoplifter(happend on both occasions), once I got past that and focused on the task at hand, I was over it. This place also sells jewelry and has pottery classes, which I would try if I still lived in the area. There are also great sales if you get on the mailing list.
