Draper, Utah
12896 S Pony Express Rd
Right off I-15 in Draper, in the Pony Express Center. We’re Suite 100, the next building north of Living Spaces and a little way up the frontage road from IKEA. The lot is shared and it is free.

Two exits work and the right one depends on which way you are already travelling. Coming south on I-15 it is Exit 291. Coming north it is Exit 289, because you reach that one first. Your phone will pick correctly either way, and both land you on the same frontage road.
The neighborhood
What is around us
Pony Express Road is the frontage road that runs alongside I-15 through Draper. It is a mix of showrooms, small businesses and offices rather than a shopping street, which is exactly why a ten thousand square foot studio fits on it.
Living Spaces, next door south
The furniture showroom is the building immediately south of us. If you are coming up the frontage road it is the last thing you pass before our lot.
IKEA, further south
The one everybody knows. Useful as a landmark in both directions. Coming from the north you should reach us first, so IKEA means you have overshot.
The Pony Express Center
The name of the complex, and what shows on the sign and on your map app. We are Suite 100 inside it.

Pulling into the lot
Park almost anywhere
We share the lot with a few other businesses. Any spot that isn’t marked reserved for one of them is yours, and it’s free.
Look up
Giant signs above our front door say The Clay Hole, and that door is Suite 100. You will not have to hunt for it.
Come on in
That’s the whole procedure. Open the door and walk in.
Before you drive over
When we’re open
We’re a membership studio, so there are no drop-in or one-time classes, and we close for a list of holidays through the year. Worth checking that list before you make the drive.
Getting here
Coming without a car
Plan on driving, because transit does not reach us.
Draper has a FrontRunner station and on a map it looks close. The walk is about 1.8 miles, because the route has to go around the freeway rather than across it, and it takes the better part of forty minutes. Crescent View, the nearest TRAX stop on the Blue Line, is about three miles out. Neither is a walk anybody wants to make carrying work home.
If you are coming in on the train, a rideshare for the last stretch is the practical way to finish the trip.
Coming from the tech corridor? Pottery near Silicon Slopes has the drive from each city, and hobbies for burnout and screen free hobbies for adults are the two pages people read before they come.
