Description:

Art is vibrant, interpretive, original, speaks to the soul, home grown, and completely personal. It’s those last 3 descriptive terms that can best describe your experience at Fired Up! Creative Lounge. This is a hand’s on studio located in downtown that provides an opportunity for you to become the artist. Various art exploration is available and it is encouraged. Paint your own ceramics or explore glass fusion or mosaics. If you dare, not for the faint of heart, mold your own piece by hand or take a turn on the potters wheel.

We have enjoyed this studio several times and have sent more than a few guests anxious to try their hand at creating a completely Asheville souvenir not able to be purchased elsewhere because it’s their personal creation. All of them reported this as an awesome, totally relaxing and very fun experience.

There are ceramic molds of every description. Coffee mugs, salad bowls, plates of all sizes and configurations from blissfully simple to more complex, decorative wall hangings, switch plates, pitchers of all sizes making choosing your own piece easy. There are stencils for those not having that Picasso feeling or put your own design in to place freehand. Whatever you need to create a piece all your own is part of the studio fee. After you’ve completed your piece, simply leave it at the desk and its Fired Up just for you. It can be picked up at the studio or mailed to your home if that is a more convenient option.

There are glass fusion kits available or try your hand at a light catcher perfect to shine in your sunniest window. If you were ever looking at outdoor garden options and it seemed a really cool idea to make one of those garden tables with a concrete top inlaid with gorgeous mosaics-now’s your chance to learn that skill. Once you handle a smaller piece and fully understand the concept of this art form in miniature- Applying the same concept on a larger piece is not so daunting.

Reservations are only required in parties of six or more. Nearly any choice in color you can think of is available in ample supply and everything else you need to fully complete the piece of art you chose. Don’t know what to do next or how to start? This place is user friendly and they love to offer help, suggestions and yes, even assurance. When your project is finished and coated in clear glaze, it is perfectly food safe, dishwasher or microwave ready. For the ceramic items, the studio fee is $8.00 no matter how long you stay plus the cost of the piece you choose.

To package and ship your piece is generally about $15. If you go for the mosaic or fused glass option, your piece will be priced by the supplies that you access to bring your project to conclusion.

So, if you feel the need to create something all your own, you feel stressed and need some more productive outlet than beating up on your keyboard or screaming in personal terms at your computer screen because it did not save your document….Hop on over to Fired Up! Creative Lounge and let your imagination soar. Trust me, it’s a ton of fun! Your computer will thank you for the day off!

From the Author: Just so you know, this place can be enjoyed by anyone. I am not an artist. I don't even free hand draw...Well, suffice to say that if I did , it would be necessary for the casual observer of my work to have name labels to clarify my artistic intention. This place is just fun. Lots of natural light, more than sufficient guidance for those a bit art timid, a great, personalized take home souvenir for those visiting Asheville and far more creative than a tee-shirt as a vacation remembrance for those at home. A great rainy day solution!
