My husband surprised me with a class for my birthday and we had the most amazing time! The husband and wife duo are so funny, kind and helpful! We will absolutely be coming back and would recommend this studio to anyone who has any interest in pottery or just a fun night out! My 8 year old is also very interested in art and they offer all kinds of activities for kids as well, we will definitely be bringing her to experience all of the fun (:

My partner and I had so much fun! The staff were so funny and helpful and made you feel capable even with being brand new to pottery. We can't wait to go back to glaze our pieces!

We had my daughter 6th birthday here, and it was a fantastic experience. Everyone was so nice, open space for setting up food and the cake. The girls really enjoyed the process, and Laurie took them back to show them the kiln! Big deal for these budding artists.

When my previous "happy place" closed I floundered until I discovered Sunshine Sunflower Studio. Wayne and Laurie are awesome, and they offer a variety of classes each month that will satisfy any creative urge. I have taken a few painting and fused glass classes but mostly have been focusing on learning new pottery techniques and even my husband has taken classes. The studio is a very happy yet peaceful place to work and play and refine or expand your skills. I love it here!!

My friend & I we're on vacation & took a class & wasn't able to bring my piece home. I was told they would be shipped to us in a couple of weeks & it's been 2 months. We've made multiple attempts & have not heard back. Definitely would not recommend.
