Dating in Utah as a Woman: Exhausting. Pottery? Refreshing.

Dating in Utah can feel like a full-time job—especially for women. There’s pressure to fit in, pressure to stay safe, pressure to always be “on,” and often, not enough actual joy.

Whether you’re done with dating apps, burned out on church-centered dating culture, or just tired of bad dates and ghosting, you’re not alone. That’s why so many women are finding something better at The Clay Hole in Draper.

Our weekly pottery classes—especially our Friday singles night—give women a relaxed, low-pressure space to be creative, meet real people, and take a break from the usual scene.

Why Pottery is the Perfect Antidote

Pottery isn’t about impressing someone. It’s about showing up, getting messy, and making something that matters. And when you do that in a room full of kind, creative adults? Real connection happens—without the performance.

  • No awkward dates—just shared space and creative energy
  • See the same people weekly and get to know them naturally
  • No small talk required—just clay, glazes, and great vibes
  • A respectful, adult space that doesn’t revolve around looks

What to Expect at The Clay Hole

  • A massive 10,000 sq. ft. studio in Draper with comfy couches and social areas
  • 500+ glazes, 100+ underglazes, thousands of tools—all included
  • Cold drinks, warm cocoa, snacks, and a game area
  • Four instructors in every class—lots of personal guidance
  • Singles-only night every Friday, but all classes are welcoming
  • Run by Dan Pearce, a potter with nearly 3 million followers who attends every class

There’s no flirting quota. No trying to be the “cool girl.” Just a community where women can be themselves and meet others doing the same.
