A Studio You Can Count On: Creative Stability for Loyalists (Enneagram Type 6 – The Loyalist)
Pottery provides Type 6s with something they deeply value: reliable structure, supportive people, and a safe space to express themselves without fear or pressure.
Enneagram Type 6s are committed, loyal, and community-oriented. They’re often the first to notice risks, plan ahead, and take care of others—but that vigilance can lead to anxiety or second-guessing. At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we’ve built a creative space that feels like home: consistent, predictable, and quietly empowering.
Whether you're trying the wheel for the first time or coming back week after week, pottery offers 6s a rhythm of trust, growth, and deep connection—both with others and themselves.
Hobbies That Ground and Reassure Type 6s
Loyalists are drawn to hobbies that offer clear structure, consistency, and trusted community. Their favorites often include:
- Organized group fitness or martial arts
- Emergency prep or survival skills training
- Tabletop RPGs with close friends
- Home renovation or DIY projects
- Volunteering with established organizations
- Gardening or repetitive, peaceful crafts
Pottery adds a unique dimension: it blends routine and exploration. The wheel becomes familiar. The tools are always there. The instructors don’t change. And week after week, you show up—not for anyone else, but for yourself. That’s a stabilizing ritual Type 6s deeply appreciate.
Many ISTJs and ISFJs also find pottery to be one of the safest-feeling creative hobbies they’ve ever tried.
Why Pottery Brings Peace to Type 6s
Pottery helps Type 6s:
- Build trust in their own creative instincts
- Find calm through repetition and structure
- Develop confidence in uncertain outcomes
- Connect with steady, encouraging people
- Create beauty in a safe and stable environment
And because our classes are ongoing and community-based, 6s get what they need most: familiar faces, solid systems, and freedom to grow without pressure.

What Other Type 6s Ask Before Their First Class
Will someone be there to help me if I’m unsure?
Absolutely. Every class has four instructors and a warm, encouraging energy. You're never left alone or expected to "just know."
Is it okay if I bring a friend?
Yes! Bring-a-friend passes are part of your membership. 6s often enjoy the comfort of having someone familiar with them.
Do I have to commit long-term?
Nope. Our memberships are month-to-month. We believe trust is earned—not forced.
Trust the Clay. Trust Yourself.
If you're a Type 6, you’re already loyal to everyone else. Let pottery be the thing that shows loyalty to *you*. Come join our creative refuge. You belong here.
