Felica Tortorici is the owner and chief craft supply collector of All Fired Up, Redding’s Paint Your Own Pottery and Art Studio. She works with families and individuals to have some out of the box creative fun. Felica believes that having the opportunity to express yourself and be creative is crucial a person's health and wellbeing. Along with being a fun, creating does wonders for stress relief and can be a great form of social engagement. Felica fell in love with crafting the first time her mother took her to local Ben Franklin’s store and purchased a beautiful beaded Christmas ornament kit that the two of them completed for the family Christmas tree. After that she was hooked on all kind of arts and crafts, with an extreme fondness for cooking, paper crafts and fired arts. After moving from Shasta County, CA to the SF Bay Area to finish school and work in the tech industry, Felica relieved corporate stress by taking a multitude of cooking and ceramic classes pending huge amounts of time at one of the South Bay’s favorite pottery studios, Petroglyphs. When things turned sour in the tech world and her department at HP was moved to India, Felica became a personal chef in the Napa Valley for several years but gave that up to move home to Cottonwood to help her mom out. After being back in Northern California she met and married her wonderful husband David. One day while online searching for a used kiln (for holiday crafting projects) Felica found a kiln for sale attached to the local paint your own pottery studio which was also for sale and the rest is history. Felica holds a BS degree in Network Engineering in from Master’s Institute in San Jose, and a Certification in Database and Data Analytics from UC Santa Cruz. 1796 Churn Creek Rd; pottery painting, life casting, board art, clay prints, clay and fused glass workshops and more! https://www.facebook.com/All-Fired-Up-104221844330161/ www.allfiredupnorcal.com
