In addition to the humiliation of being buried by dogs and dug up by science teachers, skeletons are ornery because they lack the musculature necessary to get massaged. Avoid taking your skin for granted with today's deal: for $35, you get an introduction to clay class at Pottery Northwest (a $75 value). The professional studio, to which artists from around the world come to advance their craft, equally embraces beginning students and their yen to mold flat rolled slabs of clay into beautiful vases and spontaneous life forms through techniques such as pinching and coiling. The 90-minute course, led by experienced instructors, pairs the teaching of fundamental skills with gentle critiques, granting students an informative, structured lesson. The studio is BYOB, so feel free to host broccoli juice chugging contests while pieces get molded into shape.
