Always an amazing experience. I bring my kids every year for back to school crafts to have fun after summer. Always a hit to see them and how creative they can be.

Love this walk in craft store. Good prices starting for items at $3 to above $60, most being in the range of $15-25. Pottery painting is my favorite but they offer tiling mosaics and glass fusion as well. My favorite part is I pay for the pottery once and can come back as many times as it takes me to finish it without an extra fee. Im very meticulous so it takes me a long time to paint details. They have such a variety of colors its amazing. The people that work there are always so helpful offering tips or ideas if I ask. They helped me get my puppies prints on a plate with is now the favorite plate in the house. Its such a cute small buisness the owner even works there.

What a great place to get creative. My husband and I have been here a few times but we definitely need to make it a regular stop! Its a great date night idea, perfect for families, parties, or getting together with friends. Definitely a place to check out.

Cant wait to be back! So much to choose from. Inviting atmosphere. Knowledgeable staff, theres a first time for everything! Highly recommend painting some pottery to be glazed. There are a lot of ideas around the place. If you look, you will be inspired.

Tried going there to paint mugs and it was 7pm, said they close at 8 but the doors were locked! Dont advertise you are open until 8 if you are going to lock the doors an hour before you close! Restaurants serve people up until the time they close!

Both glass and ceramic options. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They are always happy to help you create whatever idea you have in mind. Once you have completed a project it takes roughly one week for it to be fired and ready for pick up.

It was fun. People were helpful but not in the way. Prices were reasonable to expensive. I found several projects I could do and fit in my budget. You dont need to be overly creative to participate.

Super cute atmosphere! They have ceramics you can glaze and glass you can make mosaics. I wish they had a bigger selections of ceramics, but they had a very good selection of glazes and glass in my opinion. The space is kept very clean as well.

A cute place for hang out or for a date, you can either paint or make your own glass artwork. Prices are a little higher but they provide you all the colors and the place is nice

I absolutely love The Fire. Wonderful owns. Great atmosphere. Normal prices. Very inspiring art. Nice area for kids to play. Busy but I always find a nice place to sit. You can bring in a snack or drink with you. On our last visit, my son painted a coaster for Dad.

Ive done pottery twice and glass once. I love it. Any ordinary girl can be a really great artist here. And they are very sweet and very helpful.

Review №23

Had a blast! Great place to get your crafting fix. Employees are available to answer questions, but dont interrupt if you dont need them. There were more project options than I anticipated and more glazes and stencil options too! I thought the prices were fair. Definitely will be back again.

Review №25

Had fun painting our. Paid and was told to come back in a few weeks to collect. But they had already threw them away. When I asked the girl why she just walked away and dissapeared in to the back rooms. Never waist my money here again. And they are far from cheap. Needs better communication and possibly new management.

It was busy but it was a Saturday morning in February. Very nice and helpful staff but the whole process wouldve been nicer if someone wouldve helped explain what to do instead of me guessing and asking other customers what to do. This was my first time there with my daughter but it was alot of fun. The selection of pottery to paint was a bit small for me and there wasnt much under $20 to choose from. I will definitely be returning now that I know what to do and maybe during the week so its not so busy.

Hands - on, creative fun for any age. The staff was very helpful and explanatory, then hung back and let us make work on our own. There were 5 of us, ranging from 7 - 65 years old and we all had a great time creating mosaics & glazing figures. We cant wait to go back!

Review №34

So much fun and lots of different activities but the products are very overpriced compared to the similar locations in green bay and oshkosh. I love the atmosphere and location as well as the class offerings but everything should be lowered by a few dollars

Absolutely LOVE this place! I have done 5 mosaics and I am currently working on glazing a round plate. I love that you can decide what you want to spend depending on the project you choose. Definitely give them 5 stars!!

This will take you back to grade school art class in the very best way! Select your future masterpiece and they provide everything youll need. Try to go when theyre not packed if youre new to it and feeling self-conscious about your artistic abilities. Be aware that you will need to leave your finished art to be fired and pick it up in about a week - its worth the wait.

Ive been here several times and will return. They have several different types of projects to choose from and lots of options for each type. Theres limited tables and they fill up during times like the holidays. For an event its nice they have the option of booking a separate room for your party. The staff is pretty laid back. If you say you dont need help then they will leave you alone. Its a fun activity for lots of ages and artistic levels.

We love doing projects at The Fire, but the last time we went in (at 4:15 on a Sunday) we were greeted with what project are you looking to do, because we need everyone cleaned up and out by 5:30 and weve already started turning customers away. If you cant promise youll be done at 5:30, you shouldnt start anything.

My experience at the fire was fine. But it was the shipping process that has angered me. I have been waiting for a month to see my project and it still has not arrived. If you do not live in the area do not go here!
