Desert Dragon Pottery

"Absolutely love this studio! I’ve taken a couple different classes here with the 2 instructors and both of them are fantastic. It’s a hands-on or hands-off experience depending on what level you’re at and what you need, you just have to communicate it!! I always feel super welcomed and always enjoy my conversations and time spent with the instructors! If you bring good energy and a positive attitude and willingness to learn, you’ll love it here! You get out what you put in. Can’t wait to go back :)"

"The moment you walk in you’re being critiqued and patronized. We showed up for our reservation very confused. The property looked like a junk yard. Ok, maybe it was an eclectic hole in the wall. Nope. When we finally found the door, “Anita” barely greeted us and barked orders to fill up buckets, etc. Everything we did was wrong. The amount of water we were using, the way we were carrying the bucket, and the way we were molding the clay. This was not a warm and inviting environment. Her instructions were condescending and we felt very uncomfortable. At one point I asked if my clay was centered enough and she replied “does that look centered to you??” 15 minutes in and that was our cue to leave! She then got super confrontational when she realized we were not staying and, well, there are thousands of pottery pieces outside which we now realize from reading other reviews are from people who never returned to pick them up. Don’t waste your time!"

"I took the beginner's class and had some personal pots fired here, at a very reasonable price, when I lived in the area. Mishy is so very nice and helpful. The lady, forgive me for forgetting her name, who ran the class was a direct and an efficient potter and teacher with tons of great tips of the craft. I felt like I was back in my ceramics class and I had such a good time my hour felt like 10 minutes. 10/10 highly recommend using their services for anyone interested in pottery/ ceramics."

"I have always wanted to try throwing pottery. My daughter got me a certificate to a half hour class at Desert Dragon Pottery. I signed up for a 1/2 hour mini pottery wheel class. By the end of the class, I had a functional bowl. I knew I was hooked on clayI I signed up for 6 more hour long sessions. Each session included all clay, return session for glazing and firing. Mishy and Anita are patient and extremely knowledgeable instructors. The studio is truly a creative space with a casual vibe, but seriously amazing pieces are made there!"

"I had so much fun! This was such a great experience and the instructor was so laid back and cool. I already purchased another session and will be coming back!!!"
