Art is hard, especially when fortified by the flames of a sintering kiln. Make a piece of sturdy, ceramic eye candy with today's deal: for $15, you get $30 toward paint-your-own pottery at Arts A Blaze Studio in Lakewood Ranch. Arts A Blaze invites ambitious potters to festoon blank-faced ceramics with paints, glazes, stamps, and stencils. First claim a seat in the cheerful, spacious studio, and then browse through an archaeological dig's worth of decoration-ready earthenware pieces ($8–$60), including plates, bowls, mugs, and more. Once your selected artifact is satisfactorily saturated with color, patterns, or portraits of your favorite fictional amphibian, a staff artist will whisk your creation to the kiln room, where it will be glazed and fired to glossy perfection.
