Fireborn Studios has an active YouTube channel, and has created many videos which learners will find helpful.
Many Fireborn students have expressed interested in transitioning from the classroom into some sort of open studio situation or perhaps a cooperative pottery venture.
To facilitate that journey, Fireborn has done the following things.

Fireborn, or more specifically, Dan, is offering you the information on this page and other linked pages, and pointing you to Clay Pittsburgh. Also, he is providing you with a Facebook Group where you and other like-minded people can help each other. Dan needs a vacation. At some point, we will be offering firing services but we haven’t structured this process yet. For now, I am offering consulting and workshops.
Daniel Vito has also created web pages with embedded YouTube videos, carefully curated, covering a wide range of topics. There are over 20 hours of amazing, educational videos covering historic information, profiles of potters, and philosophical musings of some of masters of our craft. Explore them here.
