All Fired Up: Pottery Painted by YOU

http://allfiredupdc.com/

CLEVELAND PARK (DC)  202-363-9590

Mon-Sat 10am-9pm

Sun 10am-6pm

How does it work?

We are a paint-your-own-pottery studio also offering fused glass (Cleveland Park only) and  mosaics.  You select the project you would like to do, and we will set you up with the appropriate materials. A staff person will explain the process and answer any questions.  After you finish your project, you leave the piece(s) on the table.  We have a worksheet that gets filled out, and then you pay before leaving.  The worksheet has your pick up date so you know exactly when to come pick up your masterpiece.  Pottery and mosaic pieces are ready in one week but for glass fusion projects we call when they are ready (Firing time varies.).  If you can't finish in one visit, we will package up your piece for you to take with you.  We don't hold any unfinished pieces in the studio.

What should I bring?

We provide everything you need including a fun, creative, and relaxing atmosphere. We have a great design center which includes stencils, stamps, sponges, and design ideas. All of the paint washes out of clothing so there's no need for smocks.  We have a gigantic chalk board which kids can color on if they finish painting first.

How long does it take to paint?

The average person spends about an hour and a half painting. With young children it depends on their attention span. However, there is no time limit; you are welcome to take as long as you need. You can even take it home and come back another day to finish your piece.

What does it cost?

The price of a pottery piece ranges from $6.00 to $60.00. For example, mugs are $19.00 to $222.00, plates range from $16.00 to $25.00. Mosaic pieces run from $25.00 to $55.00. All Fired Up prices are all inclusive. All of our pottery is labeled with the price. There are no extra fees. The paint, glaze and studio time are free!

Is my child old enough?

All ages are welcome in our studios. Putting children's hand prints on pottery is always popular for the younger ages. We also have small animal figurines and cute little boxes, kids love to paint.

The Me Nobody Knows - PLAY/DRAMA

The Me Nobody Knows

Portrayed within the span of a single day, The Me Nobody Knows poetically examines the aspirations and fears of a multi-racial cast of young people. Inspired by actual writings of students, their stories are universal. In these student's struggles lies their hope, and ours. They are the voices of change. The musical score combines rock music, classical fugues, rap and jazz that inspire passion and transformation.
