Out of the couple places we've been for painting pottery Firehouse had the better selection and more of an ambient atmosphere. Only thing is just be prepared for the price because it can be expensive other than that the Women who work here are sweet, kind and beautiful. Thank you for having a pep in your step and for caring about your customers read more

There has never been a time that we haven't left with a feeling of joy and satisfaction. All of the employees are anxious to help with any project or answer any questions. This place draws people in and exudes happiness! We cannot say enough positive things about Firehouse Pottery, except go for yourself and enjoy! read more

Firehouse Pottery - KC Chiefs platter - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

This place has amazing service. As soon as you walk in there are people waiting to help you and explain the process. There is a lot of different prices and lots of different price points and even a clearance bin. Overall pottery is an expensive option for a date or birthday party or whatever however this place is relatively reasonable and competitive with other places. They have a lot of stamps and lace and other things to make pottery for younger kids easier. It's extremely kid friendly and they have food and drinks. They don't even have a studio fee you just pay for the piece. It only takes a week for firing as well. read more

I love coming here, it's very peaceful and relaxing. They sell warm and cold drinks or can bring your own or food. Sometimes there's a little wait but it's worth it. I love they they play music and the atmosphere is so artistic. I love that in every table there's friends, family or lovers enjoying their project. I love painting and talking with my daughters. They have lots of colors, patters, brushes and utensils available. The staff is always very sweet, super welcoming. This has become on of our favorite past time. read more

I love going to firehouse with friends. BYOB and food. We paint, snack and laugh. The staff are friendly and helpful .

This is a great place to get your creative juices flowing. I've been here for a ladies night out as well as just for fun with the kids. They have a wide selection of pottery to paint, ranging from $2 magnets on up to huge serving dishes, which are more pricey. On our most recent visit, my kids each selected medium-sized figurines to paint, which cost $11 each. Once you have selected your item, there's a huge variety of glazes and paints to choose from, as well as tons of stamps and stencils, so you can stay as simple or get as complex in your design as you want. The staff is super helpful - they will give you a quick painting lesson before you begin, and they're really friendly and willing to give assistance whenever you need it. They're also super at fixing something if you need a do-over on your piece. There's a studio time fee to use all these resources of $6 per person. There is one main room with several tables, and then two different party rooms off to the side, so you can make a reservation for a group (and get a discount on your studio time fee), or just walk in and paint. Overall, the setting is super cheery, so it's a nice artsy atmosphere to get you in the mood. There are lots of examples to look at. Once you've finished your project, it takes about a week, depending on how busy they are, for the kiln process, and then you can come back and pick your items up. My kids are super excited to see what their creations will look like once they are fired, since the staff explained that the paint and glazes become brighter and shinier once they are baked. read more

Great place to have date night, family outing or a girls night out. Staff is friendly and always willing to help. Our family goes every July and paints Christmas ornaments. It's a lot of fun to look back over the ornaments we've painted over the years. Can be pricey depending on what you choose to paint. They offer various discounts via a board in the shop, like posting something to twitter or Facebook etc. read more

Staff is great! I had so much fun painting my ceramic piece. Staff walked me through all that was available and stayed available for questions. I had some wonderful hot tea while I painted and never once felt rushed. It was an enjoyable afternoon! read more

So much fun. The staff is very helpful and friendly. It is a great place to go for a unique and creative gift.

I cannot say enough positive things about this wonderful place! We have been here more times than I can count, and will continue to make regular visits!

This is a lovely place all of the workers are so nice and it is family friendly so many pieces of art to chose from I recommend 100 percent to go read more

It has been a great place for fun with the kids or just adults. You basically buy your blank piece there, such as an ornament. Then you paint it and come back one week later and it's been glazed. They do all the supplies and clean up which is amazing! The only critique is they host children's Birthday parties and these tend to be loud. Parents let their children run in the studio which is disturbing. But overall, it's a great experience and you get a keepsake. read more

This place is SO cute. It's the perfect place to spend an afternoon. The little old house it's in makes a perfect environment for being creative. It's a perfect location! They have a huge selection of pieces to paint, and a nice selection of colors. The studio fee is very reasonable too! Definitely a hidden gem in Springfield. read more

We went for Ladies Night and had a great time. I thought prices were good and instructions for our first time were awesome. Also nice to have a glass of wine while painting! I would go again - it was a blast! read more

I really love this place! I take my kids every year to make a Christmas ornament and other times of the year to just have fun. It is a great place to go for Girls Night Out or to just go, relax and get creative. I like that you are able to get your own supplies and paints but that the staff are very helpful if you have any questions. I really like the specialty glaze that you can use. They also to Pottery to Go and come to my daughters preschool each month. I have a whole shelf of things that she has made over the years. read more

Fun place to paint your own pottery. Beware of policies! I went here with my daughters while visiting relatives. I asked what paperwork my mother would need to pick up my pottery since we would be leaving before the pottery was done. The employee at the shop said that they could ship it for me. Great! Great until it arrived broken! The shop did not insure the package and refused to refund my money; instead offering me a complimentary piece on my next visit. I live 900 miles away...pretty safe bet I won't be claiming that complimentary piece. The shop owner insists the breakage is the result of the post office and not her shop. Without insurance the post office will not be held responsible. I thought most people knew you had to insure your packages with the post office to guarantee them. I have had pottery shipped for a similar type store in Kansas and not only did the pottery arrive in excellent condition....the shop INSURED the package. The owner of the shop in emails told me their is a form I was to have filled out to have my pottery mailed which states that Firehouse Pottery is not responsible for any damage done while shipping. Had the owner's employee given me the form or told me this policy I would not have had the shop ship the pottery in the first place. I guess the owner needs to train her employees a little better? I also find it incredilous that a shop that sells and offers to ship POTTERY doesn't insure them when shipping them. So, Firehouse Pottery is a fun, creative place....I reccommend the experience...just don't have them ship your pottery anywhere and be very careful of the shop policies! UDATE AUG 2011: After contacting the local BBB and much discussion Firehouse Pottery still refuse a refund...all this over 33 dollars. Not my kind of customer service. read more

I can't believe I'm the first one to review this wonderful, addicting place! It's so much fun and relaxing to let your inner artist out. All you have to do is pick a piece that you want to paint, find a table, decide how you want to paint/decorate your piece, pick out the paint and go to town! It's a fun place to spend a couple of hours. read more

What a wonderful company. Super friendly staff, they seem to really love what they do and what you to have the best experience with them. As far as family fun entertainment, I would recommend them. They are also great to come and bring the fun to you. read more
