you've ever thought, "You know what my life is missing? Paint, sawdust, and the confidence to ruin…read morea perfectly good piece of pottery," then let me introduce you to your new happy place: Sun City Sawdust. This place is basically an adult playground disguised as a DIY studio. You walk in thinking you'll casually paint a mug... and suddenly you're emotionally invested in shading techniques like you're auditioning for The Great British Bake Off: Pottery Edition. The staff? Absolute legends. Not only are they insanely helpful, but they somehow manage to be encouraging even when your "artistic vision" looks like it lost a fight with a kindergarten class. They guide you, hype you up, and never once say, "Sir... that Lebanese Cedar tree looks like broccoli or a Christmas tree." True professionals. And the owners Pamela and Jennifer? Let's just say El Paso doesn't deserve them, but we're lucky they're here anyway. Some of the kindest, most welcoming humans you'll ever meet. The kind of people who make you feel like family... a very creative, slightly paint-covered family. Whether you're making pottery, working on a DIY project, or just there to pretend you're artsy for a few hours, this place delivers. You'll leave with something handmade, slightly questionable, and 100% yours--and somehow already planning your next visit. 10/10. Would absolutely go back to make another "masterpiece" that my family will politely display.

BUT, the kind person running the store gave me a store-use container of matte medium. There wasn't much left in the jar but it helped me with my project, & I appreciated her gesture very much.

The girl who works there with red hair (I think her name is Kristy) is the most welcoming and…read morefriendly person ever. Usually someone says welcome to the store and it feels like something they're just required to say and it means nothing.. but this particular girl made me feel like she was actually happy to have me in the store and anxious to help me. What a great feeling to ACTUALLY feel welcomed to a store. Every business needs an employee like her.. it makes me never want to shop anywhere else. Great employee.. She is the perfect example of what every business should be doing The store itself is great.. but I just want to say thanks to the red headed girl in this store who renews my hope that there are actually some people who care about their jobs and doing it the best way they can. Congratulations to the store that hired her.. and thanks for making my day so much better than it was before I walked in the door

Incompetent, rude and very poorly run. The laughable part is that they held ceramic classes!

Absolute worse customer service and products I have ever purchased. The products I purchased are…read morenot up to industry standard thickness and are virtually useless and owner will not take any responsibility for the very poor quality of the products. I have been doing pottery for 25 years and this place is the worse ceramic business I have ever came across and will not ever do business with them again.
