If it's your first time at BellyFire and you don't have ceramics experience, we recommend taking a class first. However, if you have prior experience, you're welcome to join us, even if you haven't taken a class at BellyFire before. Just let our staff know it's your first time, and they'll be happy to assist you. Feel free to email or call us for more information.

Yes, we do! We accept low fire outside pieces for firing. Half kilns cost $35, and full kilns cost $55.

With the exception of a la carte firings, We only allow clay purchased at BellyFire to be painted and fired in our studio. We offer clay available for purchase at the studio.

Not ready for a full membership? Open Studio hours are available whenever classes are not in session. Open studio allows you to hone your pottery skills in the back of the house on the wheels or handbuilding table. Open studio pricing is charged by time spent and materials used.

Expect to get messy! We provide aprons, but wear comfortable, washable clothing and closed-toed shoes. We recommend tying back long hair and removing hand and wrist jewelry.

Unfortunately, we don't offer refunds or instructor-led makeup classes due to class size limitations. However, you can make up one missed class per four-week session with two hours of studio time.

We provide all necessary tools, but feel free to bring your own if you prefer.

Only clay purchased at BellyFire can be used and fired in our studio, unless authorized by our managers. This ensures proper firing and glazing compatibility.

Yes! We have so many different options. We offer private classes for 1-35 people.

Yes, pottery made with our clays and glazes is microwave, dishwasher, and food safe.

Please allow drying and firing time. Pieces are ready for pick up 10 days after completion, and will be held until the next day of the following month from the point at which the piece was made/painted.

Glaze and firing fees are included in the cost of bisqueware pieces. For pieces made in classes, there's a $5 materials fee per piece if you wish to glaze and have us clear coat and refire.
