Pottery for Quiet Stabilizers (oceAn)
If you're a Quiet Stabilizer—high in Agreeableness and Neuroticism, with a calm, introverted spirit—you provide grounding presence, emotional intelligence, and patient care to those around you. Our pottery studio in Draper, Utah is the ideal sanctuary for your creative calm. (Low Openness, Low Conscientiousness, Low Extraversion, High Agreeableness, High Neuroticism)
oceAn types like you are steady, thoughtful, and deeply attuned to the emotional atmosphere around you. You’re not here for noise or flash—you’re here for presence. For peace. For something that grounds you in the midst of an overwhelming world. Pottery helps you slow down, breathe deeper, and feel the quiet joy of making something beautiful with your own two hands.
At The Clay Hole, our weekly membership-based pottery classes are structured just enough to guide you, but flexible enough to never feel rigid. We’ve created a space where sensitive, thoughtful people can show up exactly as they are—and be supported through both creativity and community.
Why Quiet Stabilizers are drawn to pottery

- You enjoy meaningful solitude—pottery allows you to focus inward while still feeling connected.
- You need emotional grounding—clay centers the nervous system and helps process feelings.
- You seek safe community—our studio is gentle, kind, and judgment-free.
