This studio is so relaxing and accommodating. You can work on a piece and not be rushed through it. If you’ve got a problem they’re always there to help and give new ideas. I spend creative time there and sometimes use it as my muse. They even drop off ceramics and all of the supplies to the assisted living I work at. Lake Point Villa. Which allows me to offer another wonderful creative outlet for my residents. And they absolutely love it and look forward to it every month. We have now put it on our monthly calendar. Thank you to Rebecca, Jessica, and all the staff at the Fire Escape. And this is coming from our whole team and all of our residents at Lake pointe villa. Definitely five stars!
Every single time I come here... I feel like I am treated like family. They do an amazing job at being hospitable, professional, kind, helpful, humorous, and respectful. They are exactly what I look for in a business by going above and beyond with their customer service. Plus, its super fun to paint pottery and is very reasonable in price. Will always recommend!
Just a great place to take the kids for a couple of hours. They really enjoyed it.
Was able to spend a fun afternoon painting ceramics with my granddaughter and daughter. They are very helpful with a great variety and made it a fun day. Will definitely be back
Always fun project, great ideas, amazing staff to help guide you & project kits all ready to take home!!!
They always go above and beyond to help a customer if they can! I had to arrange a quick pick up of a mug that was just fired, because it was a gift for my parents. It had my 1 year olds handprint, and it was a birthday gift for my mom! They met me at a different location just so we could grab it, and head out of town on time!
Great place to be creative! Always a fun experience ️
This place is so fun! There is something for every artistic skill level! The staff is so helpful and informative and willing to help you make your vision happen!From making something for yourself to gifts for others to company parties, this place HAS IT ALL COVERED! Cant wait to go back!
So much fun. The staff is great.
Was in a class of 40+ people. We were out in 2 hours flat - very well organized and friendly staff that gave us lots of one-on-one attention and help. I highly recommend the wood palette sign creating class for your large group. Prices were ~ $35 for a nice sized sign. Kudos to this business!!! Will return.
We brought a group of 40+ people for a fun activity to do prior to attending a workshop the next day. It was wonderful. The staff were organized and helpful and we all had fun getting to know each other while having fun at the same time. We created Wooden Signs and you didnt need to be talented to take home a beautiful sign to display. I would recommend for any person or group to attend.
Helpful and knowledge staff. Fun atmosphere and a large selection of items to choose from. This is my second time here. The first time I painted some ceramic items and this time I made a custom wood sign. Very easy project. Offered plenty of guidance. Great for kids and adults.
Our girls group had a great time! I love my board sign and Crystal was so much fun! Would highly recommend, if I lived there, I think Id be there once a week :) So many other projects that would be fun to make.
An absolute happy place for me. The staff is warm and helpful. They encourage and guide where needed. They teach and offer helpful tips for people of all skill levels. Ive taken classes, done my own projects, and brought my 3 year old in to create. Im a satisfied customer over and over and over again. Even when I have artist block, the environment gets my creative juices flowing. I highly recommend!
Very family friendly. Everyone has been so helpful each time that Ive been in . We decided to paint our own ornaments for my Moms Christmas tree this year . It was so fun getting together ! They turned out amazing ! They were also ready in less than a week . Thank you for the memories
Cute place! Lots of projects to choose from. Plan on spending at least one hour here. It was a little crowded when we went, but we had fun! We will definitely be returning!
Place is awesome. Doesnt matter the age, or gender. The ladies are talented and cool. Family run, beer, snacks, music and laughs. Perfect for any and all!!
I love coming here so much! I’ve been to many of their events and I enjoyed every single one of them. The atmosphere here is wonderful and their customer service is OUTSTANDING! They are always thinking of new and exciting ways to keep things interesting and fun, while also supporting the community through lots of different fundraisers. I definitely recommend checking out special events here or just coming in and painting something with friends or family while enjoying the calm environment. Best place in Oshkosh, hands down!
Love this place. Been there twice now. Great selection of pottery to choose from, as well as big selection of painting ideas for canvases and wooden boards. Supplies are all available and lots so you arent fighting for the paints or brushes that you want. Prices are great, especially when considering all supplies and paints are included within the prices. The atmosphere is pretty great, too. My family and I enjoy going there, especially my daughter (last time we went was for her birthday - her request). We will definitely keep going back.
Amazing place and owners!!
Cant wait to get back in there. We had a great time, and the possibilities are endless!
Love this place. A wonderful place where I can be creative and use my artistic talent. I absolutely love ceramics too and this is why I love coming here. Although they have other projects like wood signs that are really cool too. And they have special days they do certain things and have groups come in. Thank you for being so involved with the community.
Great staff! So helpful, friendly, and willing to make your visit awesome.
I always love stopping in!
I so enjoyed painting with my little girls. The staff was so attentive and caring. Oshkosh is blessed to have this gem in our community!
My kids LOVE going to the Fire Escape, and we make a point to go pretty often. We especially love the family atmosphere and how my kids feel right at home when we are there. I recommend them to everyone, because we know how much fun everyone will have. They are so accommodating with schedules (my kids did several of their summer art camps last summer), and I just appreciate them so much! We cant wait until we go back.
Everyone was very helpful and genuine. I will definitely be going back!
So much fun. Amazing and attentive staff who help so much. Definitely will recommend to everyone I know
If you want to express your creativity. This is the place.
This is a lovely, relaxing place to let your creativity flow. All the ladies are very helpful and the atmosphere is warm& friendly.
Fun experience as our date night. They have a welcoming atmosphere and are friendly. Will do again.
I had a lot of fun. This artistically challenged person created something I’m proud of!
My Mom, Sisters, and I went for the potty mouth night. It was fun and the pizza they served was delicious. The biggest thing I would suggest is to have a little more organization. We had never been there and found ourselves asking what we were supposed to be doing a lot. Maybe printed instruction sheets at each table would help with that. Now that Ive done it once I am confident when we attend the next event (so excited for The Office event next month!) it will be much easier. Cant wait to get my cup back and see how it turned out!
I have been here a few times before, always a pleasant and fun experience. I wanted to have a sign made for a wedding gift. The staff was very helpful in the design and were able to make it happen on super short notice. I couldnt be more impressed with the professionalism and amazing customer service! Great people, Great store!
This was my first visit here with my daughter and we will be definitely coming back! The girls there were extremely helpful and explained the whole process. And Oakley is awesome! Great selection of items!
They were awesome...plus we loved the dog!
I LOVE this idea. The employees were super knowledgeable, and very detailed. Honestly I wish I remembered her name. She was one of my favorite people Ive encountered working customer service. The only thing I wasnt a fan of, was you cant just buy the pieces. And if you do, they come with paint. I understand its a lot to do with the whole experience of the place. Which is awesome. Ive just been the doing it at home with my friends and family for years. But this is a GREAT thing to do with your family & friends or even to just have alone time.
Best place for a date night or a night out with friends. Owners are always friendly and helpful. Anyone can enjoy and make awesome art. Even if you have little to no experience. Have been there many times and will go many many more.
Staff was great. Had a wonderful time
I was looking for something to cure my cabin fever this month and decided to check out Fire Escape. I loved it! I got there around 10:30 on a Saturday and they werent that busy yet. I loved that they offered walk-ins because sometimes I dont like to plan in advance. The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable and fun. The selection of projects was mind blowing and they provide plenty of ideas and inspiration in their design center. I felt their prices were very reasonable and they didnt have any add-on or surpasses (what you see on the tag is what you pay). I never felt rushed and the staff was always willing to help without being pushy even after I was there for over three hours and they started to get busy, A+ for great customer service. They serve beer and wine and have other beverages for sale too which is really a nice touch. I cant wait to see what my fired finished product looks like. I am in my mid 30s and had as much fun as all the kids there appeared to be having :) I am for sure going to return to do some of their other projects.
Great place to be creative, relax and have fun. Plenty of workshops for folks of all skill levels and an amazing staff to help you.
Took a Wheel Throwing class with a friend. We learned some great techniques and I feel like I could really get into this in the future!
Amazing venue, staff and vibe! Loved the experience and looking forward to returning!
Great place! My 5 year old has a blast at the pottery classes :)
Had a great first time I will definitely be back
Such a fun place to go and get creative! Staff is always so helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely one of my favorite places to go in Oshkosh.
Had a lot of fun! Great date night!
The staff do an awesome job here!! Fabulous customer service. I was there for a private party and they got swamped with walk-ins but I still felt they did a great job helping us get our projects completed. Will definitely be back!!
This is a great locally owned place with fair pricing for the niche and great events. Just left the baby goat one and it was great so much fun. Great place to escape or have a date night.
Creative projects and awesome staff!
Family fun, great staff, allowing us time to finish our paintings after hours because a group in back were still finishing up their art work. Thanks!! My kids love it there. Pricey, but fun.
Having often been a guest of summer art camps and paint days, my daughter requested her birthday party at Fire Escape. The new location is larger than the old and has multiple rooms to accommodate large parties. Instead of painting pottery, we chose to have each guest paint a wood letter of their name and add “mixed media” on top of the paint. The kids left the letters at the studio and a top shiny coat was applied later. Within a few days I got the call that the letters were complete and ready! They all turned out amazing and were great gifts to give each guest who attended the party. I had my daughter write her thank you cards and we delivered each art piece with the thank you.The staff at Fire Escape were trained to run the birthday party and this allowed me to be pretty “hand’s off” which was a first! The location also has a selection of beer and malt beverages that we purchased for the parents that stayed during the party.I would highly recommend the Fire Escape for a birthday party (young or old). The possibilies of what you can do there are endless.
I had a wonderful time with my friends doing pottery and board painting. The owner is very friendly and personable. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be going back!!
I work here but was a customer beforehand, the atmosphere is friendly and inviting. Theres always something to do and many different fun classes to join!
We had so much fun. My granddoughter is now 7 and just stopped in and stayed .
I ABSOLUTELY love it here. Such a great experience. Staff is very friendly and helpful. A wonderful relaxing atmosphere. Easy to forget time and just enjoy yourself. Great place to go alone or with a group. Art day with the kids, date night, girls day....be sure to visit here.
So helpful. They took the time to show us how to do a bunch of different painting styles. The staff is super passionate. Love this place.
Absolutely love coming here. If i am joininng in on an event (which is very enjoyable) or just bringing the kids, it is always a fun experience.
Best place to hang out
Everyone is so helpful.
A great place to get creative even if youre artistically inept like me. Atmosphere and staff rule.
Great place to paint clay pottery, & destress.
My family goes here multiple times a year. Every project always turns out beautifully. The owners are helpful, honest people who bend over backwards to make sure every customer is satisfied. An example was when I made a Christmas plate with my childrens hand and foot prints on it and it broke in the kiln (something that, sadly, sometimes happens) they gave me all the materials to redo the plate and helped me make it perfect. They work hard and do their best to offer an incredible variety of items. My children love going there and so do I!
They have a great selection, are always willing to help you out if you cant get something just right. They will also let you take as long as you need to finish your project, once i took around 3 months to finish one and they kept it safe and wrapped up in the back waiting for me. They are also great with kids projects, if you want a nice keep sake from you little one, this is the place to go.
Cute place with lots to choose from when creating your own pottery! Drinks and snacks available too!
Finally got to check out Fire Escape this month! About time, Ive been dying to get in. This place is amazing! The choices, the way the entire place is laid out, the organization of the paint and other materials, the staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. They can help you make anything! They also have adult beverages Im a little creative, so this place is heaven for me. With that being said my analytical logical minded fiancé is not creative at all, and his work of art turned out better than mine and looks absolutely amazing!!!! Without the staff, this would not have been possible. Cant wait to get back! Love this small business!
Friendly helpful staff, super casual and welcoming and a great place to bring kids for a party or adults for an evening out. There are so many different projects and a full calendar of special events to keep coming back for
Had a WONDERFUL time at paint with goats event! The boards that we did turned out awesome & everyone was super helpful, as usual!
This is one of my favorite places to hang out in Oshkosh! The staff is super friendly and will always take the time to show you different/new techniques to try out on your pottery pieces. They have a great selection and even offer classes on different crafts other than pottery. I cant wait to go back with my friends, we had a blast!
Me and my girlfriend went there to paint some pottery and it honestly was one of the better experiences ive had. They give you a wide variety of pieces you can work from and you can paint whatever you want.
Very friendly and professional staff! So accommodating for our volunteer event with a fun and crafty idea that was simple yet beautiful. Highly recommend!
Love coming here to hang out and paint!
Such a fun and unique business experience! Took my sisters one year as a Christmas gift. Jessica and her family are extremely knowledgeable and creative, willing to help in any way, and all around emanate a comfortable atmosphere. There are so many fun projects, I cant wait to go back!
Great place for something different to do! Large selection of pottery to paint. Staff is more than willing to help with different techniques and ideas for your pottery. They also offer classes and private events. Oshkosh was in desperate need for a place like this.
The first time I visited Fire Escape, I had no idea what to expect. There is a huge variety of items just waiting to be personalized, and the staff are so helpful. I had a ton of questions, but it didnt seem to bother them. Theyve been helpful every visit since then, too. Its a fun, creative space, and I highly recommend it.
Cute store!
Fire Escape is a mothers dream! I just brought my toddler and newborn there and they were incredibly kid friendly. I had a number of projects that I was doing for Christmas and their staff were so kind and helpful getting perfect handprints and footprints on my pieces! I actually traveled from Appleton to Oshkosh because I knew I would get great customer service at Fire Escape. It did help that I knew what I wanted before getting there so save your ideas to Pinterest to make it easier on yourself to communicate ideas. Now I just need to go with my friends to their ladies nights so I can try out their other offerings!
Great fun! Friendly and helpful staff.
My first visit. I want to go back.
Fun
Our family has made about 30 projects there throughout the past year and we love seeing them all throughout the house. Our experiences at the Fire Escape have always been so welcoming and friendly, with staff always ready to answer any questions. Their dog, Morgan is especially helpful in brightening our days!
Fantastic family business in downtown Oshkosh. Unique classes and lots of ceramic pieces to choose from. Its a kid friendly spot but also a great place to relax and unwind.
Fire Escape is fantastic! It is so much fun to bring the kids here and spend an hour or two creating amazing art. Thanks!
Since living in Oshkosh, I have visited Fire Escape 6 times. I have gone there for girls days, date night, for bachelorette parties and even by myself. Their pottery is great, but their recent addition of word signs is truly an awesome option!!
Very fun place to be in and had a dog. I got to paint a gumdrop house and I am ecstatic to go today
We come there to paint about every two weeks and we always have such a wonderful experience. Morgan, their wonderfully friendly St. Bernard is a bonus to our experience!
Fun, fun, fun. Lots of choices: boards, canvas and jewelry.
