The owners were super helpful but also gave my sister and I plenty of space to take our time and chat. I'm in love with my heart, and my sister did a gorgeous wood burning project.

This place is perfect for a party or just a fun outing. We'll be back!

The instructor…read moreLance spent too much time talking and boring us about his former "master" teachers and not enough on the technique to complete our little project. Everyone was frustrated when we began. Lance basically moved around the room doing the work for everyone. He was so incredibly rude and I would never recommend taking his class. His wife tried to help and kept asking him to help others which he completely ignored. It was awkward and simply not a fun experience.

The stencils and stamps the did have left were very old and didn't work. Also, the employees just seem really absent minded and not knowledgeable or interested. And whatever you do don't forget to take a picture of your art work before you go. If you don't, they will have no way to figure out if it's finished. They won't call to tell you it is finished. And if you don't go get it within 30 days it will be destroyed. Their system is very archaic and dysfunctional. They don't tell you that you have to take a picture, you're somehow just supposed to know this. Also, expect to spend at least $75-$100, which I think is very over priced. Just go somewhere else instead.

There are great inspiration pieces all around the shop and they usually have seasonal items out. You paint your item, they fire it for you, and you come back in a few days to pick it up. I believe you can also use their clay and make your own items as well! For the pre-made ceramics you paint, you pay one cost for the items and that includes the paint and firing. If you don't finish a piece in one sitting, you can bubble wrap it, take it home, and bring it back to finish another day! Feel free to bring your own food and drink!

The amount of pottery that you can choose from to paint was a little overwhelming but I landed on a…read moreskateboard. There's also a plethora of paint to choose from. Be aware that some paints are not dishwasher safe. You'll know by confirming with an employee or if there's a specific letter in the paint numbers of your paint tube. You can grab an apron to avoid paint on yourself. If you do get paint on yourself it's able to be washed out but I didn't want to try it. There's one hand wash station where you will also drop off your used paint tiles and paint brushes. Once you get the run down on what to do from an employee you're on your own. There's a display that shows how your paint will look on your pottery depending on if you do 1-3 coats of paint. Time will fly quickly so I painted as much as I could and went over areas a lot. You can have finished pottery shipped to you but it could be more cost-effective to have one person pick up all the pottery if you have multiple and ship it yourself. When you pick up your pottery you'll get to carry it out in the store's new reusable bag. It was very cute. There's not much parking outside but that's the area for you. It's a fun activity to do with a group. Sometimes there might be no conversation going depending on how focused people are on painting but it's also a good time to unwind and turn your brain off.

We settled on All Fired Up in Alpharetta because it was inside but most importantly it was an activity...10 & 7 year olds only have so much of an attention span when hanging out with adults 60+.... I looked online and they suggested reserving a table to make sure you had space BUT the reservation date window was closed online - they want you to do it 3 days in advance (I was 2 days), so I called... They reserved us a table easy peasy. Parking is a little difficult because it's not close to the main Downtown Alpharetta Parking lot - so if you have little kids that aren't easy to contain or don't want to walk far you have to hunt. I parked right off the street (but I got lucky). Give yourself some time to find parking. We walked in and the girl behind the counter was very friendly and super helpful. She explained to my kids what to do in a way that was engaging and they listened. All the ceramics to paint were on the walls grouped by category for the most part. Both of mine painted boxes - $26/$28. My friends painted a light switch and flower - $12/$15 You pick your piece then head to the paint wall and pick up the colors - they suggest no more than 3 colors but it's up to you what and how much. They did say the more "coats of paint" the better it'll look when it's fired. We painted and talked and enjoyed ourselves. Four items came to about $95 which is perfectly fine for an afternoon activity that you then get to keep later. We went on a Wednesday, our pieces will be ready on a Wednesday (so about a week). We had fun. We have a keepsake. And it wasn't blazing hot while we were hanging out with family friends Win win

Depending on the project I can select Rayon or Polyester thread in a variety of weights. The color choices are endless and can blended gradually or distinct vivid contrast. The work always comes out looking great. The thread shows it's quality in the finished product. If the item is going to be laundered frequently the Polyester thread stands up to heavy use.. I have a tri-fold thread chart that helps me select just the right color. In addition to thread colors on the thread chart there are collections by title. The skin tone selection was a fantastic purchase and accommodates the multitude of colors/shades/tones for people throughout the world. The collection of neon colors Is nice to have on hand if the need arises for ultra bright. I even had an occasion when I used the black light white thread and received multiple compliments on the project. Whatever you need in the way of machine embroidery thread I think you'll be satisfied with Sulky Embroidery thread.
