Stay for the Joy, Come Back for the Calm – Pottery for Enthusiasts (Enneagram Type 7 – The Enthusiast)
For Type 7s, pottery is the perfect mix of play and peace—an outlet where creativity runs wild and the world slows down just enough to catch your breath.
Enneagram Type 7s are energetic, adventurous, and endlessly curious. They crave stimulation, variety, and experiences that light them up—but can struggle with restlessness or avoiding uncomfortable emotions. At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, pottery becomes the adventure *and* the anchor.
Each class offers something new: different tools, fun glazes, playful textures—but always within a stable, grounded rhythm. Pottery becomes a weekly celebration of creative freedom and inner calm.
Hobbies That Match the Energy of a Type 7
Enthusiasts are drawn to lively, sensory-rich hobbies that keep their minds and bodies engaged. Some favorites include:
- Travel, hiking, or spontaneous road trips
- Group fitness, dance, or improv
- Trying new food, crafts, or tech toys
- Board games and social events
- Creative DIY projects and home makeovers
- Hosting or organizing fun gatherings
Pottery taps into this love of novelty—but with an added bonus: focus. Clay gently encourages Type 7s to stay present. To explore depth instead of just variety. And to find joy not just in what’s next—but in what’s now.
If you vibe with ENFP or ESFP energy, you’ll likely find The Clay Hole feels like a creative amusement park—with cocoa, couches, and connection built in.
