2025: Where we are

As 2025 begins, construction resumes. The rough-in has been completed for all our services and we are awaiting an inspection date from the city. Once completed we will move on to finishing work and an announcement on the date of the soft opening.

2024: Where we were

  • Kiln in front of wall frames.

    Phase 1

    Unity Fired Arts began construction in February 2024. In the few months following, the studio framing and plumbing were installed. Much of the studio equipment was ordered in the belief that construction would be completed by Spring 2024.

    Delay

    Spring 2024 to Fall 2024 the studio hung in limbo as we awaited permit approvals from the city. Unfortunately, once we received our final permit approvals our primary contractor notified us that they were terminating business activity.

    Phase 2

    Winter 2024 brought about a new contractor. After a thorough review of construction plans, and activities to date we resumed construction in early December.
