Pottery for Grounded Creators (oceaN)
If you're a Grounded Creator—high in Openness and Neuroticism, with a quiet, reflective approach—you feel things deeply and crave creative expression that also calms the nervous system. Our pottery studio in Draper, Utah was built for people just like you. (High Openness, Low Conscientiousness, Low Extraversion, Low Agreeableness, High Neuroticism)
oceaN types like you are sensitive, imaginative, and introspective. You carry a lot—mentally, emotionally, and energetically—and you need creative practices that offer both release and grounding. Pottery is one of the few artforms that works with the body and the soul. It’s tactile, rhythmic, meditative, and surprisingly healing.
At The Clay Hole, we offer weekly pottery memberships that support emotional creatives in finding routine, community, and freedom. You can work at your own pace, in your own style, with zero pressure to perform or perfect. Just show up—and let clay do what clay does best.

- You need calm, not chaos—our studio is emotionally safe, quiet, and slow-paced.
- You don’t want to follow a crowd—you want creative space that honors your inner rhythm.

Our 10,000 sq. ft. studio in Draper, Utah includes eight types of clay, thousands of pottery tools, giant slab rollers, and a massive glaze wall with 500+ glazes and 100+ underglazes. It’s a creative playground with just the right amount of calm for emotionally aware artists.
You’ll also find kind instructors, emotionally intelligent members, and spaces designed to support introversion, anxiety, neurodivergence, and gentle expression. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all art class. It’s a creative haven you’ll look forward to every week.
