About Us:

The Fire Arts Center is a unique facility dedicated to those special art forms that use fire. The idea began when artist Peggy Dickinson-who was interested in working with glass-recognized the need for a local group facility where artists could share the cost of glass-working equipment and help each other with the physically demanding process itself.

The idea was to create a place where students and artists of all levels could explore various fire art forms, continue their education and experimentation, and sustain the facility through economies of a cooperative studio. It was further recognized that Humboldt County is an area rich in artistic talent, but many artists-including recent graduates of CR and HSU-lack the substantial investment capital necessary to develop a sophisticated working studio on their own. A core of interested people began searching for a community facility that could accommodate artistic expression in the areas of ceramics, glass, metal casting, and blacksmithing.
