Company Description
Dan Dermer has been working in clay since 1981, when he began making wheel-thrown pottery at the age of 11. In the 1990's, he had a long hiatus from regular studio work, spending time instead in the high-tech environment of Silicon Valley. As a technical consultant, instructor and courseware developer, he traveled all over the world sprinkling high-tech knowledge on unsuspecting clients, all while fantasizing about life as a full-time artist working in clay.
Review & Rating
Great option for a team activity or creative party. Competent, professional, passionate and friendly staff.
Best pottery studio I've ever been in. Friendly, helpful staff, supportive working environment.
Great place to learn pottery. Both hand techniques and pottery wheel classes. Great teachers and lot of support.
Higher Fire is a very special ceramics studio. We are very lucky to have it in our neighborhood.
Excellent environment for creating ceramics of all kinds. A membership is fairly vital for sustained work, but they offer classes in 6 week "chunks" so you can get your fix without the long term commitment. Bisque and Reduction firings weekly, oxidation monthly.
Really cool classes, instructor was patient and helpful. Can't wait to see our creations after they are glazed
Great studio. Dan the owner is a great guy. Classes are informative and well priced. If you are looking for an unforgettable first date they offer a 222 which is 2 people, 2 projects, 2 hours. The facility is well kept with great community. Higher fire participates in first Fridays of downtown San Jose. There are many firing options available, oxidation, reduction, raku, the occasional soda fire and connection to a wood fire kiln.
OMG, what a great place. Went there as a work group outing. Staff was wonderful with beginners. Looking forward to going back.
Took my team from work for a fun event. We all had a great time. The staff made sure everyone was successful and we made some great things. Highly recommend.
I've been going to classes here for about a year. The people are great, members, teachers, staff- everyone is really friendly and shares their knowledge freely. I love having somewhere that I can go unwind and create things and hang out with good folks.
