Pottery for Soft-Spoken Guardians (oCean)

If you're a Soft-Spoken Guardian—high in Conscientiousness and Agreeableness, with low Openness, Extraversion, and Neuroticism—you bring quiet strength, reliability, and kindness into everything you do. Our pottery studio in Draper, Utah provides a peaceful space to create, recharge, and connect gently. (Low Openness, High Conscientiousness, Low Extraversion, High Agreeableness, Low Neuroticism)
