Great selection of unique pieces. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The space itself is setup nicely and surprisingly large. Highly recommend checking out the studio!

Fireborn Studios is a veritable gem of Pittsburgh. Dan and his teachers provide instruction from beginning to end with great depth and breadth. Instructors teach proper techniques for throwing, trimming, and glazing. Different pottery styles from different cultures are discussed nearly every class.nnWhile many pottery studios might offer great instruction, Fireborn is unique because of the quality of the glazes and firing. Dan has decades of experience running the high fire kiln, which I believe takes over 12 hours to operate for a single firing. Countless times I've glazed a piece I was unhappy with, only to find that the finished glaze added an astonishing beauty.nnDan is dedicated to running a quality studio. If you show up willing to learn, improve, and show appreciation for the art of pottery, he will appreciate you too.nnAttached are photos of original work that showcases the quality of the glazes. Keep in mind that I never touched clay and never knew about proper throwing technique until I stepped foot inside Fireborn. Thanks to instructors like Dan and Dacey, I managed to create things I am proud of.

Fantastic pottery classes! You learn the full ceramic process from throwing to glazing.

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.
