First time at this local art studio and what an amazing space. I did a loofah soap making and card design class which bought out my inner child. We were able to select our fragrances and colors for our soap and I loved that we had a little pumpkin mold tray for the upcoming Halloween season. While our soap was settling, we designed a card using all sorts of paper and other items to adorn it. Such a fun and welcoming environment. I can't wait to attend some other workshops here. read more

Great job when you wake up w back and shoulders having pain was able to walk in and get theory needed I got the guy who was upfront he did an excellent job I'll be back wish I could afford to go in 3-4 times a week .. I'll be back for-sure read more

10/10 I LOVED this class. The instructors teaching it were hilarious, and very personable! It was a lot more work than expected, and took some time understanding the process, but they really made the experience so much fun. You get to make as many as you want within the allotted time then choose your top 3 faves. Like the instructor said, be in charge of the clay, and get rid of it if the relationship gets toxic. Also don't let the clay push you around! read more

Wow, wow, wow! I will definitely be coming back to this place again. I bought two spots for their Sip and Spin class for my mom's birthday, and we had a blast! The demo portion of the class was a little hard to remember at first, but the instructors were so nice and came around to help us step by step, ensuring our pottery pieces came out perfect. I also really appreciated how kind and patient the staff was with both me and my mom. We truly had the full pottery experience and were given plenty of clay to mold and craft. What I really loved about this experience is that in three weeks, my mom and I get to come back and paint our pieces! If anyone in Arizona is looking for a fun class to do with friends or just wants to try something new in the city, I highly recommend this art studio! The classes are very affordable; it was only $65.00 per person, which is a STEAL! read more

What a great place! My mom and I took an acrylic pour painting class and we both enjoyed it. My dad recently died so it was nice to get out in the world and do something calming. I had purchased the tickets before he passed. I highly recommend this place and their classes! read more

I cannot put into words how much I love Sunshine Sunflower Studio, Laurie, Wayne, and everyone I've met along the way! It's such a warm and welcoming space, and I am hooked!

9 of us came for a birthday party! Happy Birthday, Jose! We booked a private class and thank goodness we were in our own room. We were loud, laughing non-stop, and enjoyed ourselves. Thank you to Laurie and Wayne for putting up with us 2x (pottery wheel and sanding down/painting). I am not going to lie, the formations were hard. I killed two bowls (then because saucers) and I needed A LOT of help to get make the other two bowls. Yes, you, your hand, your pants, your shirt, etc. will be dirty especially if your friends are crazy. The demo from Laurie was so helpful but we don't follow instructions well. I super enjoyed the sanding and painting process. It was relaxing and I couldn't wait to see how they turned out. Support local business! Laurie, Wayne, and their family are awesome. read more

me and my friends had an amazing time here, the owners are so friendly and funny, they made the whole experience wonderful and easy, the price is reasonable especially since you go 3 different times for all the steps, i loved being artsy here and i would definitely recommend for a date or even a cute get together with friends! :) read more

A group of us came for a birthday celebration. What a great experience, and all of us couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole session. It was a blast! The initial clay formations were difficult, but the owners were always there to help. You get three clay balls to form. It does get messy, so don't wear clothing that will stain. It was a perfect place to have a group party. The owner's little girl was cleaning after each session. Go support this small family business! I can't wait to return to paint our creations. read more

If you're debating whether or not to sign up for the 5 week course, this is your sign to do it! I learned so much and had a great time. Love it here read more

Sunshine Sunflower Studio is a lovely place to take pottery classes. The female owner is wonderful--warm, encouraging, and very knowledgeable, which made the experience enjoyable and welcoming. The studio itself has a nice, creative atmosphere, and the classes are well run. The male owner was a bit grumpy at times, which took away slightly from the overall vibe, but it didn't overshadow the quality of the class. Overall, a great experience and a nice place to learn pottery. read more

The owner, and class instructor, Laurie is skilled at the craft of pottery and is masterful in her abilities as an instructor and guide. Some of the classes are easier than others and there's a good fit for almost any level of learner. You're liberally given the freedom to do your own thing and encouraged along the way when things go awry. They also have a diverse sale area, if buying already made works is more your speed. I have some physical limitations and they helped me get around that with tricks and helpful guidance, and flexibility. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sunshine Sunflower Studio! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere filled with creativity and inspiration. The space is beautifully designed--clean, well-lit, and stocked with everything you need to bring your pottery dreams to life. read more

Sunshine Sunflower Studio - Art Classes Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Had much a fun time here! We accidentally showed up at the wrong studio first but they redirected us and we made it on time. We did a paint pouring class. I like artsy type stuff but I'm not real artistically talented so this class was perfect. The instructor was awesome and gave the directions very clearly and had her kids help the class out too! Everyone's art turned out so cool and I'd totally come back for a different class next time. I liked the shop too, there were a couple things I thought about maybe getting, but didn't end up getting! read more

Amazing people and fun place for all ages,we did pottery , throwing clay on a wheel classes as well as other forms of art and painting.

I went to my first pottery wheel class with a few friends and we all had so much fun! Lori and Wayne are fantastic teachers and really encouraged an environment of fun and creativity over perfection. They definitely let you learn and move at your own pace but are there to help every step of the way. You also get to go back and paint the pieces you created once they are out of the kiln, which is just so much value for the price of a class. 10/10 recommend! read more

I am so happy to have found Sunshine Sunflower Studio! I am pretty new to pottery, but I have found this place to be an inviting place to create. Laurie and Wayne have created a place that is both comfortable and welcoming. I have taken a few classes this year but recently have started doing open studio and find it to be a great outlet when I just need to get away and be creative. read more

I have taken two classes now at this cute studio. It was a little challenging to come in and glaze my ceramic pieces because the hours aren't consistent and the website doesn't post the current hours. I came by as suggested but they were closed. I did pick up a printed calendar at the front door of the hours that month so I could plan my return. Aside from that the pottery class was fun, educational, and they were terrific about everyone's different skill levels. Loved it! Will definitely do it again. We took another craft class yesterday working with glass. Kimberly was great! She was friendly, educational, and just super with everyone in the class. I highly recommend both of these classes. read more

Took my daughter in to make an item for Valentine's Day. They called and said it's ready for pickup. I get to the place that took me 45 min to get to and they have no idea what happened to her item???? My daughter was super upset and we had to go out and find a new gift the day before Valentine's Day. Will not be returning again. read more

Couldn't have had a better time as someone new to pottery. Did the weekend class and the environment was relaxed, but the owners were diligent and made sure that attendees were actually learning. For the price, couldn't have found a better weekend activity and can't wait to go back. read more

My boyfriend and I had an incredible time during their wine and wheel Wednesday class. Laurie is an excellent teacher and taught us great methods that we will use moving forward. Wayne was super helpful and kind as well. We texted them when it was time to glaze and they got back to me immediately. They are both wonderful owners and we will definitely be back for other classes. read more

Amazing time wheel throwing with some wine. Awesome owners! I plan on doing classes here to learn wheel throwing pottery.

The Sip & Spin class at the studio was amazing! Laurie and Wayne are wonderful instructors with a lot of knowledge, patience and encouragement. They made our intro experience with clay so fun and welcoming. I highly recommend signing up for a class with them and checking out this studio- you'll support an awesome local establishment and have a great time doing so! read more

The staff is incredible; the instructor was very informative with clay pottery. As first time working with clay, I was nervous. But, the staff at sunshine made me felt welcomed and safe. I had great time there and my girlfriend enjoyed it as well. I highly recommend here, the staff is amazing. It is nice dated night idea or exploring a new hobby. I am definitely coming back here soon!!! read more
