My creative creation. This place is so beautiful and painting is so therapeutic. Ms Janie and Sam were so helpful and attentive. I will be returning! Clean area and friendly staff. Great pieces to choose from. The price at first seemed a little high but it's all worth it since paint and the glaze and they FIRE IT is all included......so great value !! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed painting ceramics with our grandchildren ages 14, 8, 5, 4 and 18 mo. Though it was very busy, the instructions were easy to follow and the kids loved it. Highly recommend! read more

I will never forget Melissa and her husband. We stopped in to pick-up our pieces and head back to Austin. Upon starting my car to depart, a very loud bang and excessive gas like smoke released as the car neared blowing up with my child and two dogs in it. They immediately came out with a fire extinguisher to save our lives. My whole life flashed in front of me. These people are saints. This moment in my life is a reminder of life, and the magic in humanity here in Port Aransas and its humble people. read more

Wow... looking for something for the kids to do on a not so nice day on vacation... Well unless you want to spend a fortune I would not suggest coming here. They do have quite a few things to choose from but the costs on them is pretty crazy! Most of these things you could buy at these prices for completely finished pieces... maybe even less! The space is big... but it was pretty warm in here... and stale... really could have used some air movement. The two young ladies attending to the place were nice but they gave zero direction to our kids on what to do... luckily we have done this kind of thing before... we knew what to do. For the cost... I'd shy away from this location unless you just have money to burn. read more

My partner and I needed something to do inside and decided to this. Friendly helpful staff. Lovely relaxing time. Great for those with kiddos or without. Can't wait to how the pieces look once they're fired. They will ship them if you can't pick it up before you have to leave to go home. read more

Fire It Ceramics - Vase with only the first layer painted. More colors were added after. - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Port Aransas, Texas

Great establishment for a family fun time especially little ones, glad we went early because it got really packed after noon. So many beautiful pieces to pick from. A little on the pricey side but the memories were worth it. Very helpful and creative staff. read more

Naked pottery that allows you to custom paint to your specs. You choose the piece and up to six colors from a wall of finished pottery squares. After you're finished, you pay and pickup one day later (this gives them time to fire the piece). Super friendly staff made both kids feel comfortable. Prices were fair. Everyone there had to wear masks due to the Covid craze but everyone was having a great time. Idea: they need to do a ladies night!! Free wine with a piece purchase of $20 or more. Just a thought! read more

31st Wedding Anniversary, looking for a fun, local thing to do out of the rain and came upon this really cool looking store. Hung out for about 5 minutes, never greeted and only 2 guests in the store. Could have been a great experience if only someone had said even a quick Hello. Sad, they could not have cared less we were even there! read more

Took my daughter here to do ceramics. I thought at 2 years old she'd be too young but she ended up really having fun. Just needed some help from me with getting her situated. They have tons of different ceramics to pick from which are organized by categories. She ended up choosing a small caterpillar. My 17 year old sister picked a cool gnome mug. They have tons of tiles with all the different paints on them on the walls and you get to choose six different paints to use for your piece. They provide all the supplies such as paintbrushes and smocks. They fire the piece and you pick it up all ready to go two days later. The price was reasonable. I'd definitely recommend this if looking for something to do with kids. read more

This is my second year visiting and the staff here is so helpful and friendly! They even let us request and play two songs on their store speakers. This is the perfect indoor activity, take a break from the heat and visit Fire It! It will probably take you about an hour to pick and paint your item and give them 1-2 days to get it complete. If you don't have time to pick it up, they will ship it for you. This is a Port A favorite. read more

Went with my two kids to have a fun afternoon. It turns into a 30 minute hunt for a reasonably priced item for them to paint. The item prices range from incredibly pricey ($40 for a piggy bank!) to borderline insane ($245 for the same light up Christmas tree that Costco sells for $40). On top of that, they tell you shipping starts at $12, which sounds reasonable, until they tell you when checking out that each section of your piece is $12, so $48 to ship two 6 inch jewelry boxes to Houston! To add insult to injury, as we were being informed of the shipping cost (after painting), they told my daughter to go put her apron in their hamper. As she did so, she walked behind her chair, in a very narrow walkway next to huge delicately balanced shelves of ceramics. Her apron knocked a tiny Christmas tree ornament off of the shelf and it broke. The employees didn't bat an eye, and told us it was 50% off charge for any broken items, or 100% if we wanted to paint it! So we were forced to pay another $11.50 for a broken ornament which they kept at the store. There was zero flexibility with this policy or acknowledging that it was stupid. They just lost a customer who comes back annually over an ornament they paid $2.32 for (I looked it up online!) I don't recommend unless you plan to set aside $200 to burn and keep your kids chained to you at all times. Terrible policies and we won't be back! Owner is unreachable at the phone number the employees provided. read more

A really fun experience in Port Aransas. Staff treated us like family and a super kid friend environment. Everything was explained in a timely manner and we came back early the next day and our art was already done! Super cool keepsake and memory making business! read more

Great place to beat the heat or do an activity with the kids on a rainy day. The place was larger than I expected and the two girls working were very helpful and sweet. Lots of ceramics to choose from!!! We were leaving the next day so they will be hailing our final products to us. Shipping for 4 items was $15 and starts at $9 read more

We were in port A for the week for a wedding. Looking for some things to do in the area. There were a lot of figurines to choose from to paint! It was a pretty big building, it does have a new location, but not hard to find, the building is right off the Main Street. We were able to pick up ours the next day to take home! read more

Took my nephew here to do a fun activity ... we were happy with it but I found it a bit pricey compared to other places I have been.

What a wonderful time. For 10 years I have thought about bringing my ceramic light fixtures in to Fire It Ceramics. I finally took some time to do it and am having a blast. The owner and staff are delightful people. Chatting with other clients is a pleasant way to pass the time as you paint. I would highly recommend a visit on your next Port A trip. read more

We went here on a rainy day in Port A. I didn't know what to expect price wise. They have all kinds of ceramics to choose from like animals, piggy banks, mugs, signs, jewelry boxes, crosses and more. The hardest part is choosing one. The price range is anywhere from $5 upwards of $50+ for a large bowl or something big. The small fish I painted was $12. For the $12 I got the ceramic fish, 6 paint colors that I chose, and the glaze/firing of the ceramic. The kids and I had fun at this place and for sure will be back the next time we are in port a even if it's not raining. read more

We have been coming to Melissa's place every year during the month of October. We have always had a wonderful time and benefit from a new piece of art every year. The new place is great. Roomy, with lots of new pieces to paint. The only drawback is that the cats are retired now. Happy Retirement Boomer and Meow Meow. Will definitely continue to visit every year, occasionally more than once per year. read more

Great beach alternate activity. My daughter loved it! The team was friendly and helpful. Prices very reasonable. Highly recommend

This place is really neat. Did not have time to sit and paint a ceramic but they have a lot of different ones in here. What a great idea, will be back when we come to visit! read more

This place is great. The owners are amazing and the staff (specifically the boy) are so polite and always cater to every need. If you want an indoor activity for you and even your family, this is definitely the place. read more

Amazingly fun experience. Was given the appropriate distance when painting wasn't bothered with small talk which I appreciated. The cats make such a great addition to the atmosphere. Most definitely making this a yearly tradition. read more

We come to Port A every summer and this was the first time we have came to Fire It Ceramics. It was a lot of fun. My daughter loved it. You get to pick your item you want to paint which ranges from $2.00 all the way up to bigger items (which I didn't look at the prices on those). Then you get to pick 6 colors and then you paint as long as you want. We went in on a Friday evening and got to pick up our ceramics on Sunday evening. It's a lot of fun and something different to do. We would definitely come back and do it again! read more

Love this place. It has been a family tradition for years to go there and paint something. My girlfriends and I started going yearly on our girls weekends about 5 years ago and they love it too. We want to plan a trip for February and were wondering if they plan to re-open after the Hurricane. Does anybody know? read more

Great environment and the owner was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely come back the next time we are in Port A! read more

Fire It Ceramics - Concentrating... - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Port Aransas, Texas

This place is awesome fun! If you're staying in the area for a couple of days and are looking for something to do, drop in and paint some ceramics. The selection of pieces is amazing and there must be 200 or so colors/glazes to choose from. Truly something for everyone, you wont be disappointed. super kid friendly and comfortable, cool environment. Make your own neat keepsake or gift it to your travelmates. The reason I say "if" you're staying a couple of days is because they need a little time to fire your finished art piece. You can keep a kid busy being creative for a couple of hours for $20-30 bucks AND take home a nice piece of art! read more

Absolutely love this place! it's a nice break from the sun and surf. We went in at 5:00pm and I was able to do two bowls in this cool splatter look glaze that you just paint on. My niece did a cat and boyfriend did two small turtles and a sun. Super fun! Very nice staff. The young man that was there is super friendly and helpful. Place smells good too and very nice relaxing atmosphere. read more

Maybe the best kept secret on the island! We spent 3 hours there looking, painting and laughing. The owners are down to earth, funny and helpful! Great memories for for my 20 year old daughter, my mom and I! Thank you for keeping this open and creating a wonderful place. read more
