Love this place! The staff is very attentive and it's a very fun vibe inside. There's a ton of different pottery pieces and a wide selection of paint. We've come many times. You won't be disappointed!
Service was inadequate. We reserved our spot a month in advanced and we were seated in a bar space in the glaring sun. We tried to sit at another open table for the same party size but we were told that another party specifically reserved that table. But there are no options on the website to pick a specific table in the studio. The employee working had zero awareness.
It was hard to paint with the sun glaring in our faces, so we rushed our session. The bar space was tight as well. At least invest in some blinds.

I love this place! Our friends just turned us onto All Fired Up and now we're hooked. I love that the pottery options change often and that you can bring your own beverages, including alcohol. The staff are always kind and helpful. This is a fun spot for kids and adults alike.
I’ve been here multiple times with my boyfriend and occasionally additional friends. I always have a good time unwinding and getting creative here. Prices are super reasonable - you can come back and finish your pieces for no charge (although I usually end up starting a new piece right after lol). The staff is also very nice and helpful. This is a great date spot or place to hang with friends. Also love that it’s BYOB. Only wish is that they would stay open just a little later sometimes or be open on Mondays :)
We stopped in on Thursday, May 2, 2024, for an evening of inspirational painting. I was unaware that this place even existed and I am over in the Cleveland Park / Connecticut Avenue area all of the time. This place is not very big so it is easy to miss. Details about the establishment.
• This place is small and doesn't hold many people. For the party size we had (11 people) we filled the rear of the establishment. There were other public people there as well painting at separate tables.
• Rachel was super nice, friendly, has a great personality, customer service skills were A+, and even the new lady who really didn't want to be mentioned was cool too. She helped me when I was picking my colors because a certain shade of black that I wanted was quite low so she got a fresh bottle.
• Instructions for what to do were clearly printed and laid out on the table. I love that.
• The paint colors were organized so well. They're numbered and on the wall to display the shades of colors were tiles with paint samples. SN: I cannot tell you how happy this makes me. I love efficiency.
• The display wall of the items you can choose from is fantastic! I spent at least 10 minutes browsing items and had a hard time selecting just a single item to start with. Everything from ceramic typewriters, honeybees, mermaids, beer / coffee mugs, skulls and a bit more. There is a good selection of items to choose from.
• Prices vary on different items. Bring a minimum of $100 dollars to spend especially if you're taking a parent taking a child and both of you paint an item.
• I would suggest getting here early in order to spend time browsing, choosing colors, and painting. Time moves quickly when you're having a phenomenal time with friends.
• The good thing is that if you do not finish your project, then you can take it home, and bring it back on another day to complete. However, if you leave your unfinished project there it will be sent to the kiln. Your project will be baked as the unfinished product that it is. Sorry but those are the rules. I have nothing bad to say about the rules.
• Overall we all enjoyed ourselves including my daughter.
Rating for All Fired Up 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stars. Highly Recommend.

all fired up is a great way to break the daily monotony, get creative and tap into what it feels like to have all the time in the world as a kid again. loved my experience here and the booking process couldn’t have been simpler. maybe they were still figuring out some kinks with the booking system in previous reviews, but all i had to do was select an available time and show up once it was confirmed. customer service is straight forward and kind, and the space is very intimate. can’t wait to see my piece all fired up 🎨
really great place for all ages.
a couple caveats, they require spots booked online in advance but the website does not work well.
either it lets you choose a date but not a time or nothing at all.
very frustrating!
then when you finally get a booking, you get texts
at 2am (pictured) reminding you about your booking!!!
who in their right mind decided that was a good idea?
they refuse to take bookings over the phone
that being said, when you get a booking, it’s a great place.
there are lots of different colors, patterns and clays figures to choose from.
the paint does not look like it is anything special at first but once it’s baked, it really looks amazing.
they have birthday party options and it’s a great place to take kids who are interested in art to explore their creativity.
parking is a bit difficult but patience is key, a spot will open up eventually.
we usually park on the side streets and walk 5 mins.
