Dan Pearce’s social media videos have inspired millions — but what’s behind them is a real, physical studio in Utah called The Clay Hole. This is where to find Dan’s pottery content and how to be part of the world it came from.

So You Found Me on Social. Now What?

If you're here because you saw a pottery video with too many tools, too much joy, or a weirdly vulnerable story you didn’t expect — welcome. That was me: Dan Pearce.

Maybe you watched someone transform a ball of clay into something soulful. Maybe it was a behind-the-scenes video where a mug cracked in the kiln. Maybe I said something that hit a little too close to home — and now you’re wondering where all that came from.

You found the right place. Because behind all those videos is something real: The Clay Hole. A 10,000 sq. ft. creative studio in Draper, Utah that I built from the ground up to be everything I wish had existed when I fell in love with clay.

This Isn’t Just Content — It’s a Studio

The videos are just a glimpse. The Clay Hole is the full experience.

Most people assume the studio came after the TikToks. But it’s the other way around. I built the studio first — piece by piece, obsession by obsession — and then started sharing what it felt like to create in a space that actually made me feel safe, inspired, and fully myself.

The content grew because the studio worked. Because people saw the vibe, the honesty, the clay-covered joy and thought: Wait… is there a place like this near me?

If you're in Utah (or even close), the answer is yes. This is that place.

Where to Go from Here

If you just want to keep watching pottery videos — cool. But if some part of you wants to make your own — not content, but the art itself — I hope you’ll come in. Try it. See what it feels like to sit down at a wheel or build something with your bare hands and realize, “Oh… this is what I’ve been craving.”

And if you’re unsure, here are a few pages that might speak to where you’re at:

This is more than content. It’s clay. It’s people. It’s permission to start again — or start for the first time.

Conclusion

If you’ve ever felt drawn to what I post — not just the pottery, but the feeling behind it — I want you to know it’s not just a screen thing. It’s a real thing. You can be part of it. You can walk through the door, grab a hunk of clay, and find out what happens when you give yourself space to create.
