Why OCEAn Personality Types Find Healing and Expression Through Pottery
(High Openness, High Conscientiousness, High Extraversion, High Agreeableness, High Neuroticism)
If you’re deeply emotional, driven to create, and wired for connection, pottery might be the outlet you never knew you needed. At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we see OCEAn types bloom.
This personality profile brings a rare mix of depth and light. You’re the visionary who feels everything, and that emotional awareness makes your work profoundly beautiful. We built The Clay Hole for people just like you.
Your Superpowers in Clay
- Creative fire: Your ideas are limitless. Pottery gives them form—and the studio is your playground.
- Emotional intelligence: You create with empathy. Clay lets you translate feelings into tangible art.
- Social harmony: Your agreeableness makes you a joy to work beside. You’ll thrive in our weekly membership classes.
- Determination: Your conscientiousness keeps you coming back when techniques get tricky. Growth is your love language.
Where Pottery Heals What Hurts
High neuroticism can make the world feel overwhelming—but clay calms. Pottery offers:
- Emotional grounding: Clay responds to your hands. It anchors you in the moment when your thoughts spiral.
- Safe expression: You don’t have to explain what you’re feeling. You can sculpt it, glaze it, or carve it in.
- Gentle community: Our culture attracts kind creatives—many of whom feel just as deeply as you.
This personality combo often resonates with ENFP, INFJ, and ENFJ types in the 16 Personalities model—creative souls who care deeply and crave purpose.
