One night that is yours. You came for the hours where your phone is face down and your hands are too covered in clay to reach for it. A hard month is exactly when a person needs that.
Your reason is reason enough. Money got tight. The calendar filled up. Something went sideways that nobody planned for. None of that is a character flaw.
Two taps, and your to-do list is empty. Pay for the months you need. No portal step, nothing to cancel, no text to confirm. We move your billing date, and it starts again on its own.
Fill the seats yourself and keep the profit. There is no commission on a ticket you sell. After the room rent and 2.7 percent card processing, the rest is yours.
We do not fill your seats. So we wrote down the plan we would follow, for artists who would rather make things than sell them.
We love helping promote, for a cut. An email list over 1,000 people and a social following around 3 million worldwide, though most of it is nowhere near Draper.

Three nights a year, the whole studio turns into a party
St. Paddy’s in March, the Annual Summer Party in June and Halloween in October. A proper potluck, your own drinks, a raffle at 8 sharp, two pottery games, crowd bingo and a room full of people you will be glad you met. Every party is $3 a ticket, and every member can bring one guest.
The party is on right now. Raffle at 8 sharp.The party has started.
All three 2027 parties have happened. The next ones go up as soon as the dates are set.
Every party
Spring, summer and fall, each with its own theme
Same four hours every time, from doors at 6 to lights up at 10. What changes is the dress code, the two games and what is in the raffle drum. Buy tickets as far ahead as you like.
The one everybody talks about until next summer. Beach Ball Bracket duels on the wheels, the Meltdown ice cream tower game at the tables, and the fullest raffle drum of the year.
Ticket$3 a person
Dress codeCome as you are
Raffle drumFive free Yellow Level months, and more
Witches, vampires and at least one walking bag of clay. The Possession on the wheels, It’s Alive at the tables, and bonus raffle tickets for the best costumes.
Ticket$3 a person
Dress codeFull costume, the more epic the better
Raffle drumThree free Yellow Level months, and more
Five free months of Yellow Level go in the drum, each one yours to give to someone who has never been a member, alongside clay, sweatshirts and games. No costume, no theme to dress for.
Full costumes, great hair, face paint, a group theme with your plus-one. Bonus raffle tickets go to the best ones. If yours has a cape or long sleeves, plan to take them off for the wheel game.
Not a grab-a-bag-of-chips potluck. Bring a dish or dessert you love making, with whatever serving utensils it needs. Every homemade dish earns 5 raffle tickets, so ambitious cooks are welcome to bring two.
Every square is somebody in the room you have to find, so you end up talking to people you have walked past for months. A blackout card earns 12 raffle tickets, and every finished row or column earns 1.
Raffle tickets start piling up three weeks before each party: February 24, May 29 and October 2. There is no limit to how many you earn or how many prizes one person can win.

If you have ever left The Clay Hole a Google or Yelp review, show it to us at the party for 5 extra raffle tickets. Guests included. It is a thank-you for the time you already took.
Tickets, guests and drinks
$3 a person
Every person at the party needs a ticket, members and guests alike. It covers the basic costs of the night and keeps the room from filling past the point where anybody can enjoy it.
Up to two per member
One for you, one for your guest. Your name goes on the list the moment you check out.
No refunds, but you can pass it on
If you cannot make it, give your ticket to another member and text our events line with their name.
One guest each
Partner, best friend, sibling, roommate. Guests sign the studio waiver before they come. Their raffle tickets go in under your name, and raffle prizes are for members.
Bring your own drinks
Beer, wine, cocktails, soda, mocktails. Anyone drinking alcohol is 21 or older and keeps themselves in check. If you are tipsy at all, take a ride home.
Winners are in the room
The drawing starts at 8 PM sharp, and you have to be there when your name comes out of the drum.
Questions
Before you ask
Do I need a ticket?
Yes. Every person at the party needs a $3 ticket, members and guests alike. Buy them on our website, up to two per member.
Who can come?
Current and paused members of The Clay Hole, each with up to one guest. Guests are 18 or older, unless they are a minor member coming with their parent.
Can I buy tickets for all three now?
Yes. Tickets are first come, first served, and you can buy ahead to as many parties as you like.
Can I get a refund?
Tickets are not refundable. If you cannot make it, give your ticket to another member and text our events line with their name.
Does a party use one of my classes?
No. It is a party, not a session.
Can I work on my own pottery that night?
No. There are no classes, no open studio and no personal projects during a party. The whole studio is reserved for it.
Do I have to play the games?
No. Playing is encouraged and never required. Watching is half the fun, and the crowd decides most of the winners.
Can my guest win the raffle?
Your guest earns tickets all night, and they go in under your name. Raffle prizes are for members.
Tickets are first come, first served
Three nights worth clearing the calendar for

New member deal
30 of 30 discounted spots left this month
Every month we discount 30 new memberships. Then that is it until the 1st.
Tell us where to send it and this month’s deal lands in your inbox. If this month runs out, you get next month’s before it opens.
Almost done
Where should we send it?
Done
On its way.
It should land in the next few minutes. One thing while you wait: we are members only and we do not run walk-in tours, so the virtual tour is the closest you can get to standing in one.
Would you want to know if a Clay Hole opened near you?
We started in Draper, Utah, and we would like to be in more places than that. Where they go next is the part we have not worked out yet.
Where are you?
The zip code is the part that counts.
That is how we work out where the demand actually is. The rest is so we know who to tell.
Got it
You are on the map.
Being straight with you: this could be a long wait, and we will not email you in the meantime. If your area is where the numbers land, you will be the first to know.
