Stop #3

Fireborn Studios

Hosts: Dan Vito, Donna Hetrick

For over 40 years, Daniel Vito and Donna Hetrick have been potters, gallery owners, and teachers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

They also offer pottery classes in their studio, where they share their skills and glazes with over 80 dedicated students ranging from beginners to professionals.

They are noted for their gorgeous glazes and pottery that transcends functionality. Their work is a pleasure to touch, adorns tables and living spaces, celebrates cooking and serving, and can make the simple act of eating a bowl of soup or having a cup of coffee a more pleasant experience. Zen, Feng Shui, Wabi-sabi, and tactile/visual pleasure happen.

A lifetime of experience has allowed them to become masters of their craft. They can make the difficult look easy. And they have learned that one lifetime is not enough when you love your work and are constantly growing and learning.
