| - A Guy's Review Of "All Fired Up" Pottery Shop:
I went into All Fired Up wanting to do a small project for my girlfriend to commemorate my marriage proposal to her. Flowers and plans are great, but I wanted to do something creative, slightly different, and lasting to remember the day I proposed.
All Fired Up has probably close to 100+ projects you can paint and possibly do. Gail is one of the owners of the shop and is a tremendous help. Initially, admittedly, there was quite a bit of "hand-holding" involved as far as small ideas, techniques, and the layout of what I wanted to do. I decided to do an 8" tile and Gail was an awesome help as far as what to be careful of doing and also encouraging ideas and thoughts, along with suggesting small things to enhance your project.
The shop has several stencils, brushes, fine point paints, and figurines, and that's not even close to mentioning the other "devices" to use. I went in, found some clip art on the computer to use, and drew out my ideas. The paint is slightly deceptive as before its fired in the kiln, the colors don't truly pop off of your project. However, after the firing process, the colors are bright, bold, and vibrant.
My finished product was so cool and added a really neat small touch to my marriage proposal which frankly, my girlfriend (now fiancée) loved. She honestly loved that I would choose to take the time and effort to go do a project like this just for her.
Gail was such a huge help and so easy to work with, as well as patient. My experience was really terrific. Thank you!
