In a Nutshell

6,000+ ceramics await original decoration, with complimentary supplies and studio time; handprints form clay art in holiday-themed class

The Fine Print

  • Limit 1 per person, may buy 2 additional as gifts. Limit 1 per visit. Valid only for option purchased. Reservation required. Children must be at least 3. Must use promotional value in 1 visit.
  • See the rules that apply to all deals.

Besides using a pottery wheel, the easiest way to manipulate clay is to threaten to rebury it in the dark, sandy hole where you found it. Turn clay to putty in your hands with this Groupon.

Choose from Four Options

  • $20 for pottery painting for two (up to a $40 value)
  • $38 for pottery painting for four (up to an $80 value)
  • $56 for pottery painting for six (up to a $120 value)
  • $25 for a Clay Handprint Santas class for two (a $50 value)

During pottery-painting sessions, each participant chooses a ceramic item up to a $20 value, and then uses the studio’s brushes and paints to embellish the selected piece with colorful brushstrokes. Guests can choose from a wide array of items––such as plates, ornaments, and snowman figurines––and receive complimentary personal instruction if needed. Materials and studio time is included.

During Clay Handprint Santas classes, participants press one of their hands into a slab of clay to create an imprint that will be the basis of a holiday-themed design. The instructor then extracts the handprint, allows the clay to dry, and fires it in a kiln. Participants return to the studio a week later to embellish their handprints with multicolored paints. All materials are included. Click here to view the class schedule. Though all pottery painting options welcome walk-in customers, classes require reservations.

Ceramics by Tess

Ceramics by Tess's sunny studio welcomes adults and children to craft one-of-a-kind creations in a fun, supportive environment. Against a lilac wall in the warmly lit entryway, more than 6,000 ceramics await creative types to emblazon their utilitarian canvases in paint-your-own pottery sessions. A rainbow of acrylic paints and shiny glazes transforms the blank objects into original works of art, from a coffee mug emblazoned with World's Best Third Cousin Twice Removed to a piggybank filled with glazed dollar bills.

The studio also proffers hands-on, all-inclusive classes, which guide groups through the shaping of a single item, such as a bird molded from a lump of clay. Children as young as 3 may participate in some classes, and adults take over the shop Thursday evenings from 7 p.m. onward, sipping BYOB drinks and crafting more complex structures, such as life-size replicas of the Great Wall of China.

The Groupon Guide to: New Plays

Anyone who thinks live theater is a dying art hasn't experienced the magic of an actor creating an explosion on stage using only sounds from his mouth or changing into a different character using only a switch of the hat. Take a look at some of the fascinating contemporary plays coming to a theater near you:

The Sanders Family Chronicles: When the family dog dies, the Sanders family's 14 adult children must return to the small Southern town where they grew up. Getting these 14 very different people to agree on one dog's burial plot won't be easy, and you can bet secrets are going to be revealed.

Oh! To Move! or The Weather in Cincinnati Has Never Been So Clear: Don't ever say an old lady can't dance. Ever since her husband passed, Eva Marie can't stop boppin' to the beat. This 67-year-old has a new lease on life, and she's swingin' her stuff at every pub in town when she meets a stranger who loves dancing just as much as she does. This feel-good hit has critics saying "Go, Eva Marie, go!"

The Last Soldier of Queens: When a major corporation comes in and wants to turn all of Queens into a Dormart, a regular working-class man named Reginald Guy stands his ground. As Dormart razes the town to prepare for construction, Reg Guy watches his hometown transform into a postapocalyptic wasteland. It all comes to a head in a climatic showdown between Reg and his nemesis, The Bulldozer Monster.

When will you see the new play "The Last Soldier of Queens"?
