i rollins college, winter park 0the sandspur entertainment

For anyone looking for a fun way to spend an after­ noon or evening, the local "paint-it-yourself" pottery stu­ dio, All Fired Up, is a great option. All Fired Up has been a popular Winter Park establishment for five years and it has recently moved to a more noticeable location on the corner of New York Avenue and West Fairbanks Avenue. "This is a great corner/' explained owner and 1986 Rollins graduate Camille Marchese. "There's a lot more nat ural light and more space, which makes it easier to paint." Although All Fired Up is a creative way to relax and spend time with friends, it can be time consuming Depending on the piece of pottery you choose and the design you choose to paint, a seemingly simple pottery project could take several tiring hours to complete. It also may not be the most inexpensive way to exercise creativity. Although paintable pieces range in price from $2 to $60, there is an attached studio fee of $8 before 7 p.m. and $10 after 7 p.m. However, on Tuesday and Saturday evenings the studio fees are lowered to $5. One enjoyable element to the laid back atmosphere, is the ability for patrons to bring their own food and beverages. Customers can also order photo / MORGAN MIRACLE] coffee or have food delivered. |MUSIC MAN: Matt MacKelcan looks forward to making his dream of being a musician a reality [ Marchese founded her low-key studio as a way for people "to create art they could use."
