Lonely Adults Don’t Need Fixing. They Need Community.

If you’ve been feeling lonely, there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re not broken. You don’t need to be more social, more outgoing, more anything. You just need connection. And that happens best in spaces that are safe, consistent, and welcoming—like The Clay Hole.

Our weekly adult pottery classes are designed to offer exactly that: a creative, pressure-free environment where you can show up as you are, create with your hands, and slowly build community over time.

Loneliness Is a Signal—Not a Failure

According to research by the U.S. Surgeon General, loneliness is a growing epidemic that’s just as harmful to your health as smoking. But the solution isn’t more screen time or another dating app—it’s community. Real, in-person, recurring connection with other humans.

• Pottery gives your mind a break while your heart finds belonging
• You’ll see the same people each week, building trust over time
• You don’t have to be chatty—you just have to be present

What You’ll Find at The Clay Hole
