DJ Ceramix made a name for himself by placing a slab of wet clay atop his turntable and spinning it into a beautiful vase by the end of his set. Impress the audience members of your life with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of paint-your-own pottery at Bisque & Brush on West Henrietta Road.

Bisque & Brush gives amateur artists and the kiln-curious the opportunity to produce their own pieces of painted pottery. A wide array of paintless pieces ($8 and up) are available for guests to acquire and adorn, with no additional studio fees. Once you purchase your blank piece of pottery, you'll have free reign over the studio's brushes, stencils, sponges, and paints, with more than 100 colors available—one for each color in the eighth Venusian rainbow. Pottery pieces include plates, bowls, mugs, vases, cookie jars, and ornaments. Decorate a piggy bank with a smug, money-hoarding smile, or sketch the shape of your favorite 19th-century vice president on a ceramic cookie jar. Bisque & Brush keeps its studio space lively and sociable, with relaxing music playing amid the sparking sound of conversation from pottery painters.

All glazing, firing, and cooling is overseen by the resident experts at Bisque & Brush, with pieces ready for pickup a week after the initial painting. And because Bisque & Brush uses only lead-free, food-safe products, you can premiere your pottery piece at the dinner table that very night, allowing you to invoke jealousy among your friends with your bacon-colored coffee mug full of bacon.

Bisque & Brush is closed on Mondays. Please arrive at least two hours before closing time to begin painting.
