Arts On Fire - Highlands Ranch, Colorado

Vikki F.

I have been going weekly to Arts on Fire for more then a year. I like to paint and relax with my husband and with friends. You can enjoy good company and being creative all at once.I have also had the pleasure of watching the owners, George and Dori teach their employees  to have a great work ethic and to be wonderful with the customers.They are all very helpful, respectful and lots of fun. If and when there is a problem George goes above and beyond to make it right. It has been my pleasure to go and be in such a positive environment, and let my creativity out. Thank you George, Dori and all the employees. I am thankful every day that I have such an amazing place to go be creative and have fun. I am there on Tuesdays. If any of you want to stop by on that day, you will see me there.

I normally don’t write reviews, but I felt compelled to share our special experience today. Like many parents burned out on summer break with small kids at home, we were looking for an activity to entertain the kids (ages 5 and 6) for a bit. The kids said they wanted to “paint” and I stumbled upon this place through some Google searching. George was welcoming when we called ahead to make sure our kids were age appropriate for this venue, and walked us through how to go about creating a special and memorable piece of pottery. The kids loved it and there were zero meltdowns. They took it so seriously and loved getting to pick as many colors as they wanted for their pieces as the place was so well stocked with enough colors to go around for everyone. Highly professional, fun, and organized small business. I am now trying to convince the 6 year old to have her birthday party here instead of at Chuck.E.Cheese 🙄😂. This place is great!

I love spending my days off at Arts on Fire. There are plenty of reviews where people talk about taking their kids and families. If you have kids, just go. My wife took me to AoF on Valentine's Day in 2018 as a date. (We had been married 10 years by then.) We went back the next week to pick up our crafts. George, the owner, started carefully wrapping our projects which gave us enough time to start looking around. Before I knew what happened, my wife started painting something new. We've been nearly every Tuesday since. Tuesdays are their slowest days which is why we go. We get quality adult time with each other while doing something far more rewarding than most other things.

While most kids are in and out in 90 minutes, we stay all day. There is no sitting fee so we are free to bring the same project back week after week. The dollar per hour cost of this entertainment works out to be a fraction of what movies cost.

Since starting our pottery careers we have watched AoF continue to serve Highlands Ranch and the surrounding areas. We have become friends with a number of the regulars. It turns out we have discovered we each have more artistic talent than we thought. It has been a great place for self discovery, patience, great conversation, and quality adult time. (But still, bring your kids.) I hear over and over that art can be therapeutic. AoF is also cheaper than therapy.

I can't express how much I appreciate my time and experiences with George and his fantastic staff at AoF. Thanks, George. You do an amazing job and exemplify exactly what it means to be a small business owner with integrity and vision. Your big-business experience packed into a single building means each visitor gets world-class attention. Thanks to your staff for being knowledgeable and always willing to help. There is a reason my wife and I choose to spend so much time here. I hope others will have the pleasure of learning some of what I have.

Thanks George, Dori, and everyone else we have met at AoF.

We love this small biz! Great place to relax for a couple hours and tap into your creative side. Also perfect for an afternoon with your kids. The owner, George, is lovely and the staff are super helpful. Can't wait for our next art date!

Hands down one of the best ceramics painting studios I've been to. The staff here are so attentive, patient and knowledgeable. We had an absolute blast. Highly recommended for just a date night, family time or scheduling a birthday!!!

I visited this shop 5 months ago the ago, and had assumed the payment had come out then. They charged me the payment a week ago, in the middle of my vacation, which was tightly budgeted, making me run out of money for my road trip before I was home. I called and they said they had problems with their credit vendor. Some warning would have been nice. Will never go here again.

We went here for a birthday fun day and it was fantastic! We had our 8 yo and 2 yo kids and they did fantastic! The staff was super helpful and accommodating for our wiggling toddler. I appreciate the "no studio fee"! Any extra costs there may be, were clearly explained before we started to paint. I'll be asking for a gift card for Christmas! Can't wait to go back.
