Tiles For America - 911 Memorial Event Runs Until April 26th  

 Tiles For AmericaAfter the tragic events of September 11, 2001, ceramic studios around the world joined together to offer a creative outlet to the people of our nation. Thousands of tiles, reflecting patriotism, heroes, courage, unity, poetry, and other positive themes arrived in NYC, and more continue to arrive. The "artists" are represented worldwide and have been families, children, schools, churches, scouts, and senior groups.
 
All Fired Up!  is joining this effort this year and we have until April 26th to have our customers paint these tiles so that we can fire them and ship them to New York by their current deadline.
 
Here's a link to their website. You can paint a tile for $5.25. A sitting fee will not be charged to paint the tiles. As a thank you for helping us, you can stay and paint a piece of your choice for yourself at a half price sitting fee. So a child's sitting fee is reduced to $3.00 and an adult sitting fee is reduced to $4.00. We hope many of you can help us with this project.
Hand-To-Mouth
April's New Event Starts Now!
DinnerwareIf you paint at All Fired Up! from March 25th  through April 24th, you can get double the delight from your creations.

Rainbow Paint Weekend      

Rainbow Paint WeekendJune 4th thru June 7th
 
June developed into Gay Pride Month after the 1969 Stonewall March in New York. All Fired Up! opens the month of June with a paint-with-pride event that has a charitable twist.
 
From Thursday, June 4 to Sunday, June 7, we will donate meals to MANNA for specially selected pieces including dinner plates, bowls and mugs.  We will accomplish this by donating  your $8.00 sitting fee if you mention MANNA when you pay for your project.
 
MANNA
is the nonprofit Philadelphia-based Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance, which delivers more than 70,000 nutritious meals each month to individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS, cancer or other life-threatening illness in Southern New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania. Please help us make our First Annual Rainbow Paint Weekend a huge success.

BOOK YOUR PARTY ON-LINE!
Biorthday Parties

At All Fired Up!, we take the hassle out of party planning. You can now book your party completely on-line. The Party Planner lets you book, make a wish list, send invitations and even manage your RSVPs. You can also order your party food, drinks and cake directly from us.
 
We have five different packages at All Fired Up! and there are set pieces (three to five choices for each party). The kids will choose from those the day of the party. You no longer will have to come in to pre-pick pieces before your party. Pictures of all choices and full information for all five party package options is on our party page.
In these stressful times, please remember our motto - " Painting Pottery Is Cheaper Than Therapy" and it truly is and way more fun too!
 
We are on Facebook now so take time to write on our wall. We want to know what kind of job you think we are doing. Our goal is always to be better than ever - so let us know!
 
And remember that on nice days, we have outdoor seating available. So call ahead and request outside seating.
