On the International Space Station, brave astro-pioneers pass the time by making crafts—namely, dream catchers to catch the dreams of any nearby aliens dreaming of attacking Earth. Make your crafting dreams come true with today's Groupon: for $15, you get an embossed-floral-dish-making project at Dakota Stained Glass (a $30 value).

Founded more than 30 years ago, Dakota Stained Glass’s 6,500-square-foot studio space facilitates crafters as they practice the art of staining and fusing glass. Once paired up with a knowledgeable assistant, budding artists dive into their DIY dish-making project. Once completed, dishes are set for firing in a kiln and can typically be placed on a mantle or accidentally broken in a freak juggling accident the very next day, though times may vary. With guidance from the seasoned staffer, patrons fuse fiber, glass, and paper to create a crystal-clear dish embellished with the decorative flower of their choice, such as a red poppy, yellow daisy, or blue raspberry blossom.
