Higher Fire Studios

I took the Just Try It 6 week course with no previous experience. The instructors were wonderful, I enjoyed the classes very much and looked forward to them each week. At the end you take home around 10 pieces (combination of vases, plates, mugs, and bowls). Highly recommend. Many of the students were repeating the course because they were hooked and wanted to keep learning and making more pieces! It’s a fun community to experience/be a part of.

I recently attended a wheel pottery class at Higher Fire, and it was simply amazing! The instructor was fantastic, answering all our questions with patience and expertise. It turned out to be a wonderful stress-reliever. The instructor's guidance was top-notch. They demonstrated each step clearly and helped us individually. They made sure we understood the techniques and concepts, making the learning process enjoyable and accessible. The class was well-organized, and the instructor provided helpful tips to improve our skills. The pottery wheel provided a therapeutic experience, allowing us to unwind and focus on creating beautiful pottery. It was incredibly calming and rejuvenating.

Great employees, very friendly, knowledgeable, and informative, and tons of resources for members to use in pursuit of their art. Good variety of clays sold here (~$30, includes firing fee... all cone 10) and glazes available for use (including raku glazes). They have a beautiful wall showing all the glaze overlap combinations that is very well organized and executed. Coffee/tea area with a fridge for members to use as they please. Restroom available as well. Lots of wheels for throwing and table space for hand building. They have waxes and other products like shellac available to members. Raku firing is available on request. Lockers are also available with a fee. Membership is a very reasonable price for everything they provide.

Great instructors, so patient and friendly. They really want you to learn the right way, and it's so much fun getting dirty!! Yay! Parking can get a bit scarce but other than that, it's a great studio, and it's so down to earth. You can make a day of it and even go to SOFA ( which is across the street) to get food or even visit an art gallery.
