Pottery for Efficient Helpers (oCEAn)
If you're an Efficient Helper—high in Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and Agreeableness, with a balance of imagination and emotional sensitivity—you’re someone who gets things done while caring deeply for others. Our pottery studio in Draper, Utah offers a peaceful, productive outlet that meets your strengths and your soul. (Low Openness, High Conscientiousness, High Extraversion, High Agreeableness, High Neuroticism)
oCEAn personalities thrive when helping others, following routines, and making their time matter. You’re generous, productive, and sometimes overwhelmed by how much you do for everyone else. Pottery helps you rebalance—offering a space where you can relax, create with purpose, and still feel like your energy is going somewhere meaningful.
At The Clay Hole, we provide weekly membership-based pottery classes that give structure, support, and flexibility. You’ll find a rhythm that makes sense, a community that cares, and tools that empower you to grow—creatively and personally.
