Kids and Clay//Stained Glass//Wheel Throwing//Handbuilding

All Fired Up is a professional wet clay studio which offers a variety of ceramic art classes for children and adults.  During 2011 we will be offering wheel throwing, hand building, and tile making courses as both group classes and private lessons.    

  • Private/Semi-Private Lessons 1 hour instruction + 1-2 hours additional studio time
  • Children under the age of 9 may enroll in most classes and work during open studio hours when accompanied by an adult (age 18 or older). We strongly believe that participating in the creative process with your child is a valuable and mutually enjoyable experience. To encourage you to play with your child, we are offering accompanying adult fees at 50% off regular class tuition for private lessons on Saturdays.

Our popular KIDS and CLAY classes meet weekly throughout the year with breaks during the holidays.

Pre-registration and advanced payment is required for all classes.

Stained Glass with Mick Needham

Call or email for current schedule information.

Cost: Beginning class - $180 for six weeks.  Intermediate/Advanced - $88 per month for four sessions (on-going)

Mick Needham has been the senior stained glass instructor at Butte College for 35 years. He has taught stained glass to literally thousands of students of all skill levels: beginning, intermediate, and advanced. California ’s recent budget cuts, however, have placed the Butte College stained glass program on hold, so we here at All Fired Up are pleased to now offer stained glass classes and excited to welcome someone with Mick’s level of expertise to our teaching staff.

Pre-registration and a $50 deposit required for the beginning class.  All classes must be paid for in advance.  Please call 894-5227 to pre-register.

*POTTERY WHEEL and SCULPTURE/HAND BUILDING

First person - $45
2 people - $70
3 people - $90

*With groups each person does a similar project. We can’t have some do the wheel and some do sculpture during the same block of time.

Pottery Wheel –

(children under 14 must be attended by a paying adult @ 10% off)

It is the intention that students commit to at least 3 months of instruction - ceramics projects can only increase in skill level and complexity with dedicated effort.  Now accepting sign-ups for January, 2012. Early registration recommended as class size is limited.
