The teachers here are knowledgeable and patient. Plus they allow you to come back and paint the pieces you created. It's a fun activity for anyone.

I have been to Fire it Up many times to make a variety of projects. We have had such a wonderful experience each time. Making art and being creative takes patience, which is what we all could use a little more of these days! I recommend this business to anyone looking to have fun and slow down!!

My friend's and I had a great time at the wheel lesson! Our instructor (the owner) was a wonderful teacher and was very patient with us. The lesson included a demo, and she walked everyone through the steps and assisted when things weren't going so smoothly. I would absolutely recommend the class and Fire It Up studio. They also have plenty of other activities that look really fun. I'm looking forward to coming back to do some glass fusing!

No one ever reached out and apologized for charging me for a class that they could not fulfill nor did I ever get a message or call from anyone apologizing for the inconvenience of me driving 45 min to attend a class that didnt exist. I sent an email

My friends & I had terrible customer service experiences. We won't returning nor will we be referring anyone here! One of the employees failed to inform me, before she sprayed cleaner on the table, at which I was sitting. Because of this, she also sprayed the cleaner directly on my legs & was incredibly rude when I brought it to her attention. After leaving, I had an allergic reaction to the cleaner & welts formed on my legs. (It was clearly not "just" water the employee, with an attitude, sprayed on my skin, while also towel wiping particles from the tables onto my legs & the floor, before giving
