Human beings, like paintbrushes, use their hair-topped mops to express their deepest feelings and, in the end, just want to be held. Bond with your brush with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of pottery painting at Art 4 Soul in Homewood.

Outfitted with an array of handcrafted, paint-ready crockery, this friendly Harwood Avenue haven invites aspiring Dalís to cheerfully slather rainbow juice on the objects of their choosing. Once painters have selected a bare stoneware piece from the studio's fully stocked library ($10+), they can grab a seat and begin dressing the artifact in custom colors and designs. Along with sage suggestions and aesthetic encouragement, Art 4 Soul supplies paint, brushes, tools, idea books, stencils, stamps, and sponges, which soak up spills and post-painting laughter tears. When creativity concludes, customers get to take home their finished pieces, fondly filling them with flowers, cookies, or keepsake receipts.
