  The pottery studio is great to work in and well maintained. The glazes are exceptional and can make an "ok" piece into a great one. Dacey is an excellent instructor, and I have learned a lot. The classes are helpful for beginners, returning students, or even advances levels. Dacey throws examples of anything you're working on and show a demo step-by-step. The gallery is beautiful and a great place to buy a gift. There are other specialties such as glass blowing, and jewelry making.

  Fireborn Studios is the #1 place to take pottery classes in Pittsburgh. The classes are mixed level, which benefits both inexperienced and experienced potters. New students benefit from the knowledge of the experienced potters and the experienced potters get the benefit of covering basic skills again. The instructors are professional, patient and have a wealth of knowledge. They tailor instruction for skill level and are willing to give one-on-one suggestions in throwing, pot decoration and glazing. Owner Dan Vito's work is incredible. The gallery is an absolute pottery wonderland! His glazes are vibrant, dynamic and unique. Dan is always making new pieces and experimenting on new glazes. His pieces are not only beautiful, but functional. He makes everyday pottery like bowls, mugs, and plates and more specialized pieces like platters, vases, casseroles and teapots. His pottery makes gifts that are sure to awe!

  I've been taking pottery classes at Fireborn since I retired from Carnegie Mellon a couple of years ago. I looked at a number of different possibilities but decided to give Fireborn a try after looking into the shop. If you haven't visited the shop you might want to do so. It is by far the finest pottery shop I've seen anywhere--and I've been a regular pottery client wherever I've traveled. I knew right away that the best place to study making pottery would be a place that makes and sells fine pots. Dan Vito himself is a master potter with special skills in glazing. One feature of his classes is the availability of a very wide range of amazing glazes. Dan's staff includes several first rate teachers. Pottery making is just complex enough to keep the mind (and hands) occupied, and just accessible enough for you to be making beautiful and functional pots by the end of your first 8 week session.

  Fireborn Studios is a great place to learn about clay for beginners to advanced students. There is nothing like playing in the mud and creating something from scratch in the hectic schedule of life. From classes to workshops to great shopping there’s something for everyone and always something new to learn. I am so glad to have found this wonderful place!
