All Fired Up

I saw the sign and came in one day – the manager was in and she explained everything, the paints, brushes and pick-​up times. I hadn’t painted in years, and it showed, but they let me sit there and splash away for hours! No rush, and they had all sorts of things from dishes to platters to piggy banks – the variety floored me. Prices included the piece, paint and time filling a chair. Very relaxed atmosphere, homey and friendly. I don’t have kids, but they are ULTRA-​patient with home school groups and messy fingers. That might be what I like best about them; it’s hard to find patience in business nowadays. Good job, All Fired Up!

Unfortunately you can’t give ZERO stars. We are never going back here again. The young lady came up to us, after we choose tables and pottery pieces, and told us we have to leave because the tables were reserved. I find it hard to believe that they hadn’t had «time to put the signs out» on 3 open tables during the 10 minutes from when we walked in until they said something. On top of that, they said we had to wait until 8 seats opened up even though it was just 4 kids painting (only those painting got a chair and no one could sit on laps). So after waiting over 2 house we came back, surprised to see 2 tables open. But of course they were «reserved». They couldn’t even give us an eta. The last time we went, we asked if they had any platters to decorate around the holidays. They told us no. We asked if they had any coming in and they said they weren’t sure. Right after we started painting somethings else did they bring out a whole box of large rectangle platter. We were RUDELY told that they just put out what they have. They don’t know what comes in. And then the woman promptly walked away without any other explanation. There are several other excellent pottery studios in town now and I can whole heartedly say they will be getting our business from now on.

Such a fun place!
My boyfriend and I wanted to get out of the house one Friday night and after dinner we landed at All Fired Up.
The staff are so friendly and helpful, it’s actually quite a treat.
After a few hours we had successfully picked out and painted a few pieces, had a nice conversation, and even relaxed a little.
I’d recommend this place to everyone from tots to seniors!

I was not impressed. Way overpriced even if the purchase of the clay pieces with the urn fire were all inclusive. Very DIY with not much service aside from basic instruction and from paying at the end of the night.
I found the staff very unprofessional as they were eating on their break beside me as my daughter and I painted. Worst of all they made it very clear that they would not call me when my piece was finished, unless it broke, and I’d just need to pick it up when it’s ready. This is not a customer-​centric attitude and I will not my waste my money here again.

I have been to All Fired up on several occasions. Lately, anything you try and ask for is returned with a response of, «no, can’t, or we don’t». We always call ahead, request for reservation. They always say they don’t take reservation. Then when we show up … low and behold «reserved» markers. They won’t order a specific piece for you and can’t let you know when the piece is available. The staff runs hot and cold on friendliness to down right rudeness.
I used to enjoy coming here without a local ½ off coupon. Now, having one is the only way i will walk in the building. There are finally other businesses opening up as competition in the Greater Orlando area. Hopefully this will give them a reason to be more customer friendly.
I hope to see them come back to being a more customer-​centric company.

I love this place! I had been wanting to try this for such a long time and had finally decided to make this a «girls night out» and I am so happy I did.
There are so many cute and creative ideas on the wall that it made it difficult for me to pick a piece because I wanted to paint everything! Since I had broken my coffee mug earlier that week, I figured it was the universe telling me to pick the butterfly mug.
My girlfriends and I all sat with our bottle of red wine (you can bring your own) and painted away… The time literally flew by! Everyone that worked there were very helpful and made sure we were well taken care of.
When cashing out, there is a display of pieces that were left 30 days past from their pick up date all on sale for a $ 1 a piece. I ended buying the cutest little wine glass.:)
So all in all, I love the concept, location, and the overall creativity of this place. I plan on coming back very soon!

Brought myself, 5 girlfriends, and a couple bottles of sangria here for a little get together and we all had a great time!
We got lucky and found 2 unoccupied tables to push together to make room for all of us, and as soon as we picked out our pieces, we were guided through the process of painting them. (This part is important if you don’t paint ceramics often: D)
We painted and drank for nearly 3 hours — and everything went great! The staff was busy but polite and made sure everyone had what they needed. The selection of items is pretty broad and it was difficult to choose just one thing (and you don’t –have– to just choose one)
I would definitely come back.

My most recent visit will be my last. I have been to All Fired Up a number of times, but my visit last week was very disappointing. I was surprised by the limited options of pottery to paint, and was informed by the staff that it was on back order. I was dismayed that a number of paint colors were missing. (I’m not talking about unusual colors — they didn’t have dark blue!) I was told that the paint was also on back order.
This is a pottery painting place. If they don’t have pottery and they don’t have paint, they don’t have a whole lot to offer. The staff was completely unapologetic about how poorly stocked they were, and that on top of everything else convinced me not to give them another chance.

Love this place! I always go on weekdays because the place is generally pretty empty and quiet. The staff is always cry friendly and if you are in the mood to converse they can hold a conversation. I come here by myself whenever I want to relieve stress but it’s also a lot of fun to come with friends!

This is the second or third time I have been here, and this was by far the worst experience. Their inventory was really low in terms of items to paint and the paint itself. Many colors (10+) were out altogether.
Depending who you asked, the items were either on backorder (hard to believe) or the owner, who orders inventory, was out of town for 2 weeks and didn’t realize how low they were (easier to believe, but still doesn’t seem to be the whole story). The workers were polite, but generally inhelpful. Would have appreciated a small discount since they were out of so many paints and pottery.
In any case, not the best experience. If I hadn’t gone with a large group, I would have left. I won’t be going back anytime soon (other than to pick up my generic cup, one of the few items they had plenty of).

All Fired up is great for kids. I’ve taken mine several times. Lots of choices of things to paint and lots of different painting styles. The price is not to bad. My family has had lots of fun making things to give as presents.

Really enjoyed this place! They had a large selection and were attentive with customers.

Loved it!!! I’m creative so this was right up my alley. Visited on a Wednesday evening so it wasn’t busy at all. We were greeted immediately. The setup is like a country chic. You feel like you’re in your grandmas kitchen. There are many different pieces you can paint in different price ranges. I think it ranges from $ 10-​$ 65 but don’t quote me. We had five people in our group (including 2 kids) and everything we painted was $ 25. They have a wide range of colors, stencils and utensils to make your piece unique. You can also bring wine and snacks but my hands were so filthy I couldn’t imagine eating but I would bring wine next time. It was fun and easy. The kids were creative with their mugs and it wasn’t too hard for them to grasp. I give this place two thumbs up for any occasion. (Family night, girl talk or date) The only down side is that it takes one week to glaze your piece so it may not be ideal if you’re just visiting the area for a short time. I’m not sure if they do shipping.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Can you tell how much I enjoyed coming to this artsy venue. They have a great selection of pottery pieces to choose from, anywhere in the price range from 5.00 to 40.00. I went on a Saturday night around 7pm for a friend’s birthday and this place was packed, I was surprised at all the people coming in and out, but I can definitely see why.
This place is great for everyone you can bring a date, you can bring the kids. I am big on creating and crafty things so this place was the perfect haven to express my creativity. Included in the price by the way are the tools and you can choose as many paint colors as you want, and if you want to use stencils those are available as well.
I decided to go with the cutest owl coffee mug and that particular piece was 20.00. Your creative piece is ready in a week for pick up. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I am definitely coming back to create more pieces.

My friends and I checked out All fired up for a girls night out. I had a great time creating my piece. I would definitely go back. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Awesome place overall.

I’ve been here a few times. We’ve taken our kids and even been on dates here alone w my husband… is a very nice and relaxing environment to be in. I enjoy every minute of it. The staff has always been friendly and attentive. they also explain w details everything that will be going on. Sometimes they also have coupons on groupon that you could purchase and save some $.

I checked out All Fired Up about a year ago. After checking out some of these Unilocal reviews, I could swear the name «All Fired up» was describing their customers. When I went a year ago I got the little spiel and really didn’t think to much of it. Fearing that they changed into some horrible pottery Nazi’s I prepared for the worse.
Walking in last night was about as peaceful and pleasant of an experience I have had in a while. Both the women manning the store were quite pleasant and conversational. If you don’t pick up your pottery in a month, it will be thrown away, if you don’t have control of your children, you are going to be asked to leave.
At the end of the day, if you are a normal chill human being, you will enjoy this business. If you are are not a chill human being, maybe you should ask yourself why you are in a pottery studio to begin with. After reading some of these reviews I had to come to the defenses of this company. I think Unilocal should maybe create a new site called
and transfer your memberships over. All fired up A-​Okay.

Came here with my daughters a few weeks ago as their Christmas gift to me. We were a little taken aback by the abrasiveness and lecturing tone of the employee (she seemed aggravated at something and gave her «rules» spiel like she used to work at the DMV). There was a place in Winter Park Village (now closed) where I used to take my girls often and they were SO helpful and made things fun, so we had fond memories.
All Fired up had a very different vibe and much less selection of items to paint.. Oh well to each his own.
My beef with the place was that I never received a call that our pieces were done. OK, my bad, But when I called to inquire today, the person that answered told me that everything is thrown away or donated after 30 days. We were at 36 days, so I was out of luck. She said there was no need to even check as things never stay beyond 30 days.
Admittedly, it DOES say on the receipt you have 30 days to claim. And frankly, I forgot to mark my calendar. But a quick reminder call from the company could have turned this experience around and we probably would have not only picked up — but stayed and painted some more. It would have been good customer service and simple to do. As it stands now, I will NEVER come back, and will discourage anyone who asks.

This place is awesome despite the wait time. But the exceptional service made up for it all!
A friend and I stopped by on a Friday night because I had a Groupon to redeem. Apparently we chose the wrong night because everyone had the same idea. It was so packed. There was a large group in front of us so we ended up putting our name on the wait list and strolling over to Park Avenue waiting for a call letting us know they had a table for us.
After about an hour we headed back and thankfully the place had emptied out for the most part. The store manager, Cyn, was SO awesome and thankful to us for our patience even with the extraordinarily long wait and even rewarded our good attitudes with coupons for our next visit. It really pays to be nice! Rudeness and bad attitudes only get you so far.
Anyways it was my first time here and my fellow Unilocaler, Pam H., showed me the ropes. You pick a piece to paint. There are so many choices– plates, platters, bowls, mugs, the list goes on. The cost is based on how much the piece is that you choose. I chose an owl shaped plate. All paints and the glazing are included in the cost. There is a wall with paints– you pick up a palette, use the sharpies provided to write the paint number on it so you know which paint is which.
It’s a very relaxing thing to do to get your creative juices flowing. They also invite you to bring in your own refreshments. So I brought in some bottles of ciders, cookies and veggies and dip. Well balanced snacking! :))
Once you are finished painting and your piece has dried, you take it up to the register to pay. They give you a ticket to present at pickup. It is about a week turnaround time.
I would gladly recommend this place and hope to visit again soon.
Just some tips for your visit:
Visit on a weeknight to avoid crowds and wait lists. If you happen to get on a wait list, you cannot wait inside due to fire code.
Parking is off street.
Well behaved dogs are welcome.
Make sure to get a punch card if you’re a regular.
Get on their mail list to be notified of their fun events!

Groupon got me in the door for my first visit. I will definitely return since I had so much fun. The price for a single ceramic item is certainly high ($ 20 for my little monkey, I believe) but you get a whole lot more than just a ceramic. Three hours flew by as I carefully searched my phone for design ideas, chose my tints from the wall and executed by plan of attack with brushes/​sponges & double/​triple layers. Between that, BSing with friends and watching the Park Ave. pedestrians/​traffic pass by, my night was made.
It was a throw back to High School when I crammed as many art related classes into my schedule as possible, except the technology has certainly improved since then. The color is a lot more precise. — Take your time!
It’s a great place to gather for a date or with a group of friends. Plus you actually get a tangible gift at the end. We all know someone who just needs an extra piggy bank, no?
We were told it’s a wise idea to come early, as they don’t place reservations and there is no predicting how busy it will get. On a Wednesday evening, we were basically alone but the clerk said the previous Wednesday night was at capacity.
