Hand-painted pottery has a rich legacy of storytelling, from the Grecian urns that document the perils of Orpheus and Eurydice to modern coffee mugs that foretell epic tales of the World's Greatest Grandpa. Paint your own story with this Groupon.

$15 for $30 Toward Clay Plaque Pieces

Keepsakes can be through the use of hands, feet, rubber stamps, or even herbs and leaves on unpainted bisque pieces include small, medium, and large plaques ($18–$40) and flat organically-cut ornaments that can be stamped with babies' footprints and handprints ($25–$35 for set of two ornaments sized for ages 0–3 years; $40 for single ornament sized for ages 3 and up). Studio fees are included, and staffers will finish items with color-wash for no additional fee.

Do It Yourself Crafts

Inside their blue-walled studio, staffers at Do It Yourself Crafts help visitors wield glass, tie-dye, silver clay, and pottery paints to create colorful, one-of-a-kind artwork. Glass-fusion classes teach patrons the skills they need to meld glass shards into funky tiles, and parties bring friends together to bond while they work on various art projects; patrons 21 or older can tote along libations to fuel the festivities. During pottery-painting sessions, patrons select a piece of raw ceramic bisque to adorn with provided pigments, choosing from forms such as plates, mugs, and plaques.
