He was so friendly and an amazing teacher. Most of my friends had never taken a class before so it was fun to see them work and be creative! There's a nice little cafe where you can order drinks and there's so many cute things you can purchase in the shop as well. Overall such a fun thing to do with friends and family if you like pottery. Also when I picked up all our ceramic pieces the barista was so nice in assisting me! All the pieces turned out beautiful. I love taking classes at pip definitely a must try if you haven't done wheel throwing yet (:

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!

Wow, wow, wow! I will definitely be coming back to this place again. I bought two spots for their…read moreSip 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!

You walk in and there's an immediate sense of calm. The owner, Tosca, is so sweet & chill, she was great explaining to Zoey how to create w clay. Zoey worked on her piece for 3 hrs! I painted a piece that was pre-made, I can't wait to see how it looks after firing it. I'm truly looking forward to going back.

We ran into a few bumps at the beginning of our visit. They couldn't find our reservation even…read moreafter we showed our confirmation email. This wasn't just us, several people in our class had the same issue, and they had to call the owner to sort everything out before we could start. They also mentioned that we could bring our own drinks, which sounded great, but I wouldn't recommend it for the wheel-throwing class. We didn't open our wine as no cups were provided but there was also no time during the class to drink it. That said, our instructor, Callum, was amazing! Truly hands-on, patient, and made sure everyone left with a piece they were proud of, whether they chose to keep it or not. One thing to note: I wouldn't recommend this specific class for out-of-towners. If you want to keep your piece, the process takes about a month. First firing, then returning to paint, then a second firing. You also pay separately for any pieces you choose to keep and paint. Our class was $35 per person, and it's $20 per piece for firing if you plan to come back and paint it. It's a commitment, but also two fun experiences if you're local or don't mind returning. Overall, I'm taking off one star due to our specific experience with their wheel throwing activity, but I still think the concept of this place is great, and I look forward to coming back to paint my piece as well as to try a different activity!

Anita was our instructor. She gives very explicit instructions and I had success fairly quickly with my small creations. I learn by following instructions. My husband's experience was not good. He had success, but Anita told him several times that he didn't listen and he wasn't following instructions (in a rather harsh tone of voice. I think she calls it as she sees it without sugar coating her instructions). My husband learns by making mistakes and figuring out what works. He wasn't given the freedom to do that in these 45 min working sessions. So, overall my experience was OK. His experience was not good. So, I cannot recommend Desert Dragon, based on our personal experiences. But I found it was a good intro to pottery and the wheel.
