Art helps people reach a wide audience without shouting from the top of radio towers, provocatively dancing behind a local TV field reporter, or tying speech bubbles to migrating birds. Express yourself with this Groupon.

$12 for $24 worth of pottery painting and studio fees
Crafters paint food-safe pottery such as a bowl with handles ($15), a jewelry box ($12–$16), a margarita glass ($14), or a figurine ($7.50–$22). Studio fees include materials such as paint, glaze, firing, brushes, and downloads of designs to trace onto pieces. If patrons have to pick up the kids from school or respond to a Bat-Signal, they can return at a later date to finish their project. After the finishing touches dry, pottery professionals fire the piece and ready it for pickup a week later.
Pottery Bears 'n Beads
When crafters step into Pottery Bears 'n Beads' vast studio, shelves brimming with more than 1,000 paintable ceramic pieces and finished works by other artists dash away inhibition and flood minds with inspiration. Picassos and fledgling artists create side-by-side, forming a social community buttressed by friendly staff members who lend guidance and break down creative barriers with templates and design suggestions. Whether painting pottery with a floral pattern or painting canvas with a portrait of a family pet, crafters draw from a rainbow of paints and a full arsenal of supplies. Artisans of all ages can also hand-stuff a bear, leopard, frog, dog, or other animal, outfitting finished friends with birth certificates, sounds, or outfits to ready them for a tea party or NATO convention.
While letting their creative sides flourish, patrons can munch on BYO snacks, order in from several nearby restaurants, or enjoy complimentary adult beverages on Friday ladies' nights. To document the good times and give clients a solid alibi, Pottery Bears 'n Beads gifts a free photo of the festivities. Also, to encourage good grades in its younger crafters, it waives the studio fee for students who present a report card with an A.
