December was a busy month for Fire It Up Pottery & Art Studio. Owner Lottie Cantu said the holidays are an ideal time for parties and people making original creations as presents.

“It’s kind of crazy,” she said. “It’s good though.”

The studio opened in April in Sugar Land and offers ceramic painting, glass fusing, jewelry-making and potter’s wheel classes. Cantu said she wants to add mosaics, candle-making and stoneware options in the future.

“I kind of want to keep expanding,” she said.

Fire It Up is intended not to be a place simply for children but also for adults and couples to have fun.

Cantu has hired more staff and opens on school holidays if they fall on a Monday. She said parents bring their children to Fire It Up if they need to keep them busy, so she also hosts a short camp session during spring break and Thanksgiving holidays.

Fire It Up can host parties of up to 24 people, and the studio can hold a maximum of 34 customers.

Ceramic painting prices range from $5-$90 depending on the item. Flat studio fees for firing and materials are $5 per child and $7 per adult.
