I buy pieces from here all the time and take them home for my kids to paint. The pieces can be pretty pricey but when you consider how nice they turn out and how long they last it’s worth it. Makes great presents.

We had so much fun over here decorating our piggy bank and jewelry box. All you pay for is whatever you choose to paint, they provide the paint and fire it up with no extra charge. All you do is paint and have fun and pick it up the next week after they make it all shiny and pretty. The best part is that all profits benefit the Work Training Center!

You should all go here and and DO ALL OF THE THINGS!!!
I reserved the space for an hour and a half and paid for private instruction for my girlfriend and I. Our teacher was patient, kind, and incredibly gay friendly! We ended up making bowls on the wheel and had an absolutely wonderful time!
I would suggest All Fired Up to anyone wanting to have a fun and romantic date. They also

Sent my wife to get a few raw glaze materials today and we both ended up being disappointed. YIKES!!! SOOOO EXPENSIVE!!! I mean like outrageously expensive… I usually order from Alpha Fired Arts in Sacramento, but decided to grab a few basic ingredients today and was set back with the price. I get it, we’re a smaller town, but 300%+ markup is crazy ridiculous. Anyways, heres a comparison from All Fired Up to Alpha Fired Arts:
UPDATE BELOW:
Nepheline Syenite– Alpha 5 lbs.- $ 12.50, All Fired Up 5 lbs.- $ 42.00
NC-​4 Feldspar– Alpha 5 lbs.- $ 12.50, All Fired Up 5 lbs.- $ 36.00
$ 25 to $ 78! Alpha Fired also gives a discount when you buy 5 lb. increments as well as a student discount. This is a crazy mark up and I definitely feel like I was taken. I’m not sure I’ll be returning and I would suggest you do the same.
My wife also had a terrible experience buying the materials. They were rude to her, the employees, and very unprofessional. The woman (Janice) made a big deal over weighing 5 glaze materials, and chastised her employee about not taking the order over the phone. (MAYBE, if they weighed a little out to sell there would’t be this problem??? It’s not that hard and pretty much standard at other professional establishments)
It’s unfortunate but I believe we won’t be coming back. Actually, my wife is definitely not.
UPDATE: Went and bought raw materials from Alpha Fire in sac and the Nepheline syenite 5 pounds was only $ 6.55 while All Fired Up charged $ 42. That’s is unacceptable to me and even though I like having a ceramic store close, I will NEVER go here again. A 600+% markup. Weak.
