Studio

The Fire Works is located in the character filled Rockwood Sprinkler Factory on Harlow Street in Worcester, MA with easy access from Rt. 290. It’s a big old building with an eclectic mix of artists and small businesses.

Our studio is a home for people with clay experience – from those making ceramics a full time endeavor, to hobbyists who are fascinated with the mud and play in it every chance they get. There are folks who have been on hiatus from clay and are looking to get back in it, as well as people who have taken pottery classes and now want to explore on their own. We encourage any and all members to continue their formal education when they need it, but realize that here at The Fire Works is the place for doing. We offer a community atmosphere where there is a lot of give and take, with informal and occasionally formal discussion groups possible.

It’s a cool place ---- come check us out!
