Burned Out and Overwhelmed? Pottery in Utah Can Help

You’re tired all the time. Not just physically—emotionally, mentally, spiritually drained. Maybe it’s your job. Maybe it’s parenting. Maybe it’s just... life. You don’t feel inspired anymore. You don’t even remember the last time you did something for yourself. This is burnout. And you are not alone.

At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, adults come to us exhausted—but leave feeling grounded, recharged, and creatively alive again. We’re not a spa, a therapy office, or a productivity hack. We’re a pottery studio—and for many, that’s exactly the medicine they didn’t know they needed.

Why Pottery Is a Burnout Antidote

  • You can finally unplug. Phones down, hands dirty, thoughts quiet. It’s a break from the noise.
  • You get to flow instead of perform. No deadlines, no bosses, no grades—just process and presence.
  • You reconnect with your senses. The feel of clay, the smell of the studio, the rhythm of the wheel—it’s healing.
  • You do something just for you. No one’s asking you for anything. You show up for yourself.

Our classes happen through monthly memberships with weekly sessions. We don’t offer one-time classes or gimmicks. Instead, we give you something sustainable—a place to refill your cup every single week.

Real Words from a Burned-Out Member

“My job burned me out, but I kept pushing. When I finally joined The Clay Hole, I realized I was allowed to rest. This place taught me how to slow down again.”

We don’t just give you tools—we give you space. Thousands of them, in fact, along with over 500 glazes, giant slab rollers, hand-building areas, pottery wheels, comfy couches, cold drinks, snacks, and some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet.

Owner Dan Pearce personally attends every class and believes rest isn’t a reward—it’s a right. At The Clay Hole, we give you full permission to slow down, breathe deep, and make something beautiful just because you feel like it.
