Private pottery classes give clay manipulators the focused attention of an instructor for 2.5 hours any day of the week. Zen and Now provides the materials and techniques for hand building mugs and flatware, or for throwing vessels on a wheel. During the 2.5-hour Date Night class, glazed mugs and platters come to fruition via hand-building instruction. Couples work together at a large table, next to which a spread of wine and cheese keeps conversations flowing. Classes are held Wednesdays at 2:30 p.m., Fridays at 7 p.m., and Saturdays at 5:30 p.m.

Zen and Now Clay Studio

The adults hanging out inside Zen and Now Clay Studio look blissfully filthy. Soft clay slicks their hands and sticks to their smocks as they sculpt a pastoral scene onto a platter during a class or develop their own style of relating to Patrick Swayze during open studio time. In the white, utilitarian workroom, artists gather around a central table for hand building—helped by tools such as a slab roller, extruder sets for creating tubular shapes, and slump molds—or form clay on one of several electric pottery wheels. The staff later glazes and fires all student work in a process that takes about two weeks.

Adding to the enjoyment of creating art, Zen and Now's instructors organize events such as couples nights that give adults a chance to enjoy wine and cheese in the company of people they sculpted themselves, and a Boy Scout pottery merit badge workshop encourages kids to explore creativity in the studio and in the broader community. Helping students further explore 3-D modeling, the studio also offers drawing and painting classes in watercolor and Sumi-e, a classical form of East Asian ink painting.

The Groupon Guide to: TV Shows Becoming Movies

While some lament that Hollywood is running out of ideas, many of those same complainers forget that Hollywood came up with the single best idea of all time: turning old television shows into movies. What classic sitcoms are soon to be adapted for the big screen?

  • The Spookletons (1961–1967): The new family next door aren’t your average neighbors—they’re a family of skeletons! Hilarity ensues as they try to get along with their neighbor, a straight-laced beat cop who thought he’d seen everything—until now!

  • The Chillingsworths (1962–1965): When a new family moves into the neighborhood, they’re not what they appear to be—unless they appear to be a vampire who married a werewolf! They’ll definitely turn some heads walking their infant son—a baby Creature from the Black Lagoon—past the home of their uptight neighbors, a pastry chef and a senator who frequently needs to be up early.

  • The Scary Family (1960–1981): Something odd is going on with the new neighbors—they’re a shelf full of brains living in jars! Watch the sparks fly as their neurotic neighbors—a jittery patent attorney and an easily startled corporate accountant—continue living their lives, peacefully unaware that house next door isn’t just simply between owners right now.

Was there really a 1960s sitcom about a family of skeletons?
