| - I check Groupon religiously everyday for San Jose, San Francisco, and Phoenix deals because I live in the Bay Area and the Boyfriend lives in Phoenix. Just my luck, I found an intro pottery spinning classes in Phoenix for just $15/person, over 50% the original price! Of course the Boyfriend and I had to snag 2 Groupons!
We called about 4 days ahead of time and were able to reserve spots for the Monday night (6:30pm) Groupon class. The lady told us classes were filling up quickly, with over 1000 Groupons sold, so be sure to call ahead of time.
We arrive at 6:30pm to a house sort of in the middle of nowhere, but when we entered the building, we were greeted warmly by a group of people who seemed like family (maybe they were, who knows!).
We were provided with aprons and seated at our pottery wheels. The instructor demonstrated the basics and then let us on our own! Of course, she did do some damage control... especially since I managed to make a lop-sided pot and fling clay in the Boyfriend's hair. All in all, we each made 3 small items.
It takes another 2 weeks for them to fire it, then we can go back anytime to paint them. Then they'll fire it again and we can go pick up our handmade pieces!
TOTALLY worth $15, and even maybe worth the regular price too!
It was a really cool and unique date experience and I would recommend it to anyone looking to do something new.
