Paint & Fire Pottery

πŸ€— A Family Affair: Where Passion Meets Pottery

Looking for a unique way to unwind, unleash your artistic side, and make lasting memories with loved ones? Paint & Fire Pottery offers an inviting place where you can paint your own ceramic piece, regardless of your experience. Owner, Brenda Apland, whose warm smile and enthusiasm for nurturing others' creative spirit have made this studio a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike.

Behind the scenes, Brenda's family plays a crucial role in the studio's success. Her sister, Diane, a dedicated NICU respiratory nurse, is a co-owner and silent partner, while Brenda and their father, Paul, skillfully craft the bisque (term for ceramic pieces before they're fully glazed) at an offsite location. This close-knit family dynamic is the heart and soul of Paint & Fire Pottery, and you can feel it as you walk in.

Committed to providing a friendly, affordable, and stress-free experience with no studio or sitting fees, you can take your time and enjoy the therapeutic process of painting. The studio's extensive collection, made from their impressive 25,000 molds and vast array of paint colors, ensures that there’s always something new and exciting to work on.

Under Brenda's guidance, you'll find the inspiration to bring your artistic vision to life, whether a personalized gift, decorating your home, or simply enjoying quality time with friends and family. The tranquil ambiance fosters connection and inspiration, providing a much-needed escape from the daily grind.

While the studio and customers have earned recognition at trade shows and competitions, the true reward lies in the joy and sense of accomplishment that comes from crafting your unique masterpiece.

Visit Paint & Fire Pottery, where you'll not only create a beautiful work of art but also become part of a warm community that cherishes creativity, family, and making unforgettable memories together.
