Fired Up Pottery, Madison

Nestled in Lake Edge Shopping Center, Fired Up Pottery helps visitors tap into their artistic sides with paint your own pottery, fused-glass activities, and canvas painting. Alongside their friends and neighbors, patrons can apply personalized designs to plain bisque pottery pieces, or arrange precut, brightly hued glass into designs for soap dishes, sun catchers, or the reading glasses of napping friends. Alternatively, more structured classes impart basic pottery-throwing techniques. The spacious studio can play host to parties and group events, and staffers fire handiwork into finished products available for pickup one–two weeks after studio sessions. Though appointments are recommended for large parties, Fired Up welcomes smaller groups and solo artists to walk in and create art when the mood strikes.
