Learning a 'spin art' technique with Denise

Firefly Pottery was introduced to me a few years ago by my blogging partner, Christine - after going there once I knew why she recommended it!

Glass Offerings and Silver Clay Work Too!

Denise, the owner, and her talented, friendly staff are there for more than just getting you set up with some paint and a plate - Firefly Pottery is so much more!

Offering a huge variety of pre-made pieces to paint, they also offer mosaics, glass fusing, silver clay (for jewelry) and raw clay work.

Our daughter loves Firefly so much she had her 7th birthday party there - they have a spacious location that comfortably fit us all - kids and parents.

Firefly offers girl's night outs too - I was even there one night when they had a bachelorette party coming in.

Check out their calendar for current offerings here.

For hours and directions - click here.

While you are there sign-up to get their newsletter - they offer classes, camps and special discounts.

Firefly is a place ALL ages will love - boys and girls will love it! Christine's preteens BEG to go!
