No matter how long you have been in a relationship, date nights can get a little … stagnant. Another dinner out or movie night is fine, but sometimes it is fun to do a new activity together and have some hands-on fun. Here are three local studios offering classes to get your creative juices flowing. And if you are not in a relationship, a best gal pal or bro is a perfect companion for all of these creative adventures.

Create your own piece of pottery at Prairie Pottery. Located at 7518 N. May Ave., Suite B, Prairie Pottery hosts a range of classes for every skill level. If you just want to try your hand at the wheel, it offers date night classes, (and girls’ night out classes!) where you can just learn the basic techniques of wheel throwing with your special someone. These date nights include drinks, tunes and good vibes. For those wanting a more in-depth education on recreating that famous scene from Ghost, a four-week beginners wheel throwing class is also an option. In a relaxed, small-group setting, students learn how to control the pottery wheel, and receive instruction on hand positioning, centering the clay, glaze application and other basic techniques. By the end of the course, you will have four functional pieces to take home. This experience is sure to be fun and messy, so be sure to wear casual clothes and shoes.

Class size is limited for each of these studios, so be sure to sign up early to create a magical evening you will not forget.
If a hands-on experience is not your style, take your date to see Oklahoma City Ballet’s Romeo and Juliet, on stage at the OKC Civic Center Feb. 20-22. The classic tale of these star-crossed lovers will be beautifully performed by our city’s professional company and is very likely to take your breath away through incredible music and dance.
