Tired of Feeling Like You Talk Too Much? You’re Not Too Much Here
You've been shushed, side-eyed, or laughed off for talking “too much.” But what if your voice isn’t too much—what if it’s just been waiting for the right space?
At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we believe your voice belongs. You’re allowed to be chatty, expressive, deep, playful, curious, or passionate. In our pottery classes, conversation flows as freely as the clay—and no one’s keeping score on your word count.
If you’ve ever felt embarrassed for oversharing or dominating the conversation, you’ll find relief here. Pottery makes space for silence and laughter—and your voice is just one beautiful part of the whole.
Why Pottery Helps You Feel Safe to Speak—or Stay Silent
Pottery is both social and soothing. Some of our members talk the whole class, others work in quiet focus—and both are completely welcome. You don’t have to censor yourself. There’s room for processing, storytelling, and simply being heard while your hands shape something new.
- Classes are relaxed and non-judgmental—no “too loud” or “too much” energy
- The act of making pottery softens overthinking and invites natural flow
- You can engage in conversation or focus quietly—your rhythm is respected
- The studio attracts deep feelers, thinkers, and expressers just like you
- You’re not a burden—you’re a story that wants to be shared
Research shows that creative practices increase self-acceptance and reduce self-monitoring. In a study on art and self-expression, participants reported greater emotional safety and authentic connection when engaging in creative activities—even when words felt hard or excessive.
A Studio That Welcomes Your Energy—All of It
The Clay Hole isn’t a place that hushes you. We know some people process out loud—and pottery is the perfect medium for it. We’ve created cozy spaces, soft lighting, lounge zones, and a studio vibe that invites both story-sharing and quiet creation. Come be yourself, unapologetically.
- Membership includes weekly classes so you build trust over time
- Located conveniently in Draper between Salt Lake and Utah Valleys
- No social rules—just community built on creativity and mutual respect
- Classes are led by Dan Pearce, who brings his own expressive energy to every session
“I talk a lot. I always have. Most places made me feel like that was a problem. But here? I’ve never once felt annoying. I’ve made friends who love my stories.” — N.P.
*Your voice doesn’t need to be quieter—it just needs to be held.*
Conclusion
If you’ve felt like you talk too much, maybe you’ve just never been in a space that valued your voice. Pottery at The Clay Hole isn’t about silence—it’s about presence. And when you’re fully present, your words become part of something beautiful. Come shape clay, connect with others, and speak freely.
