We are small family-owned ceramics company founded in 1984 in Milton, Ontario, Canada. From the very beginning, we have specialized in producing decorative ceramic switchplates, which we sell all over North America under our trademark Now That's a Switch!™ Over the years we have designed thousands of different switches, and sold hundreds of thousands. We believe our current crop of designs is our best offering yet. All of our designs are All Fired Up! originals, designed by Lynne Carson, and many of them are available in multiple configurations. Beyond switchplates, we also produce four different sizes of ceramic clocks, ceramic bottle stoppers, coasters, wine tealight holders and "bird bowls". Our newest items are ceramic Christmas ornaments, soap dishes and vases.
The product page on this site has a number of slide shows presenting every design and size we make. The products are separated by size and type. For instance, there is a slide show for clocks, two different ones for single switches, another two for receptacles, and so on. To view the slide show, navigate to the size or product you are interested in, via the drop-down menu, and it will play automatically. Or, if desired, you can go straight to the design you are interested by clicking on the thumbnail image. We will add new designs at least once a year, so check back periodically. If you prefer, you can download a pdf file of our complete catalog from the Contact page.
Our products are available through independant gift stores and galleries across Canada and most of the United States. You can access a list of these stores through the Retailers page. Gift stores may request a wholesale catalog by faxing on their company letterhead.
A few notes about our products: All of our switchplates are CSA (Canadian Standards Association) approved. They will fit on standard switches in North America only. We provide extra-length nylon screws with each switch (they are less likely to crack the ceramic than metal screws).These switches are thicker and slightly larger than the typical plastic one (and much nicer!). Not all designs are available in all configurations. Colors will vary on most designs due to the nature of the decorating techniques and the variability of some of our glazes. Also, note that colors on your monitor may not be accurate. The clocks include a battery-operated movement. You will require one alkaline AA battery to operate it.
