My interest in ceramics began when I took an evening class in pottery aged 17 at the local college in my hometown of Salisbury. I then went on to gain a degree in Ceramics and 3D design at Bath Spa University College, and after that a Masters in Ceramics at the Royal College of Art, graduating in 2004.

fired 4 u

Hi I’m Jane and I was born and bred in Northumberland but I am now living in Preston Lancashire having travelled around the northern part of the UK a little bit, following a career managing hotels for most of my working life. I got to a point where things were drastically changing, customer service was going out of the window at the expense of the company solely looking to make money, not caring about the people who worked in it or used it as customers. This goes against my beliefs of helping others enjoy their time out and have a great experience with you. I set to looking for alternative roles within the catering industry getting pipped to the post every time. Whilst on holiday in 2005, I read an article about pottery painting studios, looked into it, found a course the next weekend. I went to the course, returning 2 days later announcing to my husband I was leaving the hotel to set up a pottery painting studio. It wasn’t quite that simple but it did happen and so Fired 4 U was born eventually in July 2006.

Such a great experience! We were looking to learn and experience something new and going here did not disappoint. We have now had two courses here and I cannot be happier. I highly recommend taking the Raku course, even though we did really love our time on the wheel and hand-building experiences too. Each are so unique and give a different outcome.
