Dan Pearce & The Clay Hole
Some of my best and most viral videos, all in one place
Most of what I post does nothing. These are the ones that did.
Forty nine reels, sorted by the kind of mood you showed up in. The funny ones. The ones where a lump of clay turns into an actual object. The ones that are just nice to look at. And the dad jokes, which I will not be apologizing for.
Tap any of them and it plays right here, with arrows to keep going. No bouncing over to Instagram and back.
@theclayhole, same name on all three.
The wall
Pick a mood
Every one of them is below. Filter it down, or let me pick.
Nothing in that one yet.
The building all of this happens in
If you want to end up in one of these
Everything up there was shot in one building in Draper, Utah. It runs to nearly 10,000 square feet, with 650+ glazes on the wall and a membership that works out to about $33 a session. Some of our members have been throwing for twenty years. Some of them had never touched clay before they walked in. Both of those people are in the videos above.

One last thing, for the curious
Before the videos, there were words
Long before any of this, I wrote a blog called Single Dad Laughing. For about a decade. Thousands of posts, almost none of which still exist, which is a sentence I have mostly made my peace with.
Some of those went a great deal further than anything on this page. Not close, actually.
I have had a loud voice for a long time now and I have never stopped being grateful for it, mostly because every so often it did a little good. The ones I could save are at danpearceknowsnothing.com. There is no pottery in them whatsoever.
