Why Pottery Is the Best Long-Term Hobby for Every Personality Type
Some hobbies burn out fast. Pottery doesn’t. At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, it grows with you—and sticks for a lifetime.
Pottery never gets old. You’ll always have more to explore—new shapes to throw, new glazes to try, new techniques to master. And the best part? It adapts to every season of life and every personality type.
We’ve had members start as total beginners and stick with it for years—because no matter how much you evolve, pottery evolves with you. And in our Draper, Utah studio, you’ll never outgrow the joy of making something real with your hands.

🎯 You’ll Never “Finish” Learning It
Pottery has endless depth. From throwing to carving, hand-building to slip casting, underglazes to raku—it’s a creative rabbit hole. That’s why logical types like INTJs and ISTPs never get bored.
🌿 It Grows With Your Life
When you’re busy, it’s a place to reset. When you’re healing, it’s a quiet support. When you’re thriving, it’s a way to create with joy. Every INFP, ISFJ, or ENFP will find that pottery mirrors their growth.
⏳ It’s a Hobby You Can Age Into
Pottery doesn’t require youth or speed. It asks for presence. That’s why we have members in their 20s and 70s alike—each on a path that’s theirs alone, creating things they never thought possible.
If you’re tired of hobbies that fade, or need something you can grow with over time, pottery is it. Join our community in Draper, Utah and let it become your forever creative outlet.
