About Arts On Fire A Paint Your Own Pottery Studio
Arts on Fire is a Paint Your Own Pottery Studio. Whether you are a true artist, or artistically challenged, we can provide you with the tools to create your own handpainted masterpiece. You simply pick out a piece of prefired bisque and we supply the rest. New parent...s love to do clay or paint handprints to commemorrate their newborn's early years.
We have a private party room available for free to groups of 8 or more. Kids love to celebrate birthdays there, or on the other end of the spectrum, workgroups looking for teambuilding activities often book the room.
Our two pottery wheels allow you to try your hand at handcrafting your own piece--classes available.

Reviews
re: not open
After my poor experience, I left a message on the business phone. The woman who called me back was very polite and apologetic for the problem. Turns out someone simply didn't show up for work that day and didn't bother to let the owners know. Bottom line, they definitely made things right and we had a wonderful experience when we were able to go back.
Not open during open hours
Hours online and printed on the door at the location say "Sunday 12-5." We showed up at 130 and they were closed. Door locked. Open sign off. No one around to answer our knocks. I called the phone number and their lovely voicemail says hours "Sunday 12-5." We were taki...ng my newphew there for his birthday. He was super excited. =( highly unprofessional and disappointing. I still want to give them a try, but I will be calling to confirm before I plan to go again.
They will give away your art
Warning to anyone thinking about spending money here. They haven't required a receipt or phone number to pick up a piece, and have willingly handed out pieces of art completed before. I went in there for a birthday and painted a bowl, returned a week alter (1 week befor...e you get your piece after painting) and they claimed someone had come in to pick it up for me when I said I'd be back Thursday for it. Left and came back a few hours later and asked for a refund, got told that it had to happen through mail (never did, they took my address) and the cashier's lie got more elaborate every time she told it (knew my name suddenly, knew me, knew the design, etc) when I know no one in this town. Never EVER saw my bowl OR a refund. Paint at own risk!
Several Great Experiences
We have been there several times with our four kids. The staff there is very engaging and helpful. Sundays are good to avoid a crowded studio. That's when we usually go. Great way to turn a gift purchase into an activity for the kids while creating something that means more to the recipient.
Bad Experience
We had a terrible experience. We walked in and waited at least 15 minutes before someone helped us. There was not a worker in the front of the store. Pricing was not clear. We were not given any instructions after we said we had no idea what to do. Then we were told tha...t we could not have our items for at least a week. This should have been told to us before we started painting as we don't live in Bozeman. We will probably never see our items again. I feel very ripped off as it was VERY expensive.
