Bitter Root pottery on Beverly offers Angelinos ample opportunity to take their potter's wheel for a spin six days a week. Classes are held afternoons and evenings and last about two hours. Whether you have a flair for delicate porcelain vases or want to sculpt a new home for your hulking potted palm, sign up and they'll throw in access to all the tools, clay and glaze necessary to unleash the potter within.
Added bonus: few things release tension as well as grabbing a clod of earth and strangling it into submission.
When: Afternoons and evenings, Tuesday through Sunday. Check www.bitterrootpottery.com for times
Where: 7451 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles
Why: Would you rather date someone who's taken pottery classes, or watched hours of "Walker, Texas Ranger" on cable?
