The Love Language You Forgot to Practice With Yourself
We spend so much time learning how others want to be loved. But what if your own love language is begging to be spoken—by you?
Most people know their love language in relationships. Maybe you thrive on affirming words, feel closest through quality time, or melt when someone surprises you with a thoughtful gift. But here’s the part no one talks about: you can practice your love language on yourself. And pottery at The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah gives you the ritual, rhythm, and beauty to do just that.
How Each Love Language Comes Alive in Pottery
Words of Affirmation: Our instructors are trained to guide gently and speak kindly. You’ll hear, “You’re doing great,” and “That’s beautiful,” every week—until those words echo in your own head.
Acts of Service: Every piece you make is an act of love for your future self. You show up, shape something real, and give yourself something useful and beautiful. Pottery gives something back when you're always giving to others.
Receiving Gifts: At the end of class, you bring home something handmade, heartfelt, and just for you. It’s a quiet way of saying, “I deserve beautiful things, too.”
Quality Time: Each week becomes a ritual. No phone, no pressure—just you, the clay, and a safe space to slow down and be present with yourself.
Physical Touch: Your hands connect with soft, responsive clay. It grounds you. Calms your nervous system. Brings you back into your body in the most nurturing way.
“Pottery became my weekly act of self-care. I’m a caretaker by nature—and for once, I felt like I was taking care of me.”
– Lindsey M., Member since 2025

Whether you’re a giver, a healer, or just someone who’s forgotten how to treat themselves gently—this is your reminder: you’re allowed to receive, too. Pottery doesn’t demand anything from you. It just invites you back to yourself, one small moment at a time.
