Utah Is Full of Friendly People. Pottery Helps You Actually Meet Them.

Utah is known for its friendly people—and it’s true. Folks smile at the grocery store. Your neighbors wave. Strangers hold the door open for you. But friendliness isn’t the same thing as friendship. Smiles are great. Relationships take more.

At The Clay Hole in Draper, we turn all that friendliness into something deeper. Our weekly adult pottery classes are built around consistency, shared creativity, and connection that goes beyond surface-level chats.

Friendly Isn’t Enough—We Need Real Time Together

Kindness matters. But so does proximity. Research shows that repeated exposure is one of the biggest drivers of closeness between people. You don’t need big personalities or perfect social skills—you just need to show up, again and again.

  • Weekly classes provide regular connection in a creative setting
  • You’ll work with your hands while friendships form naturally
  • Everyone’s friendly—but also invested in community

What You'll Find at The Clay Hole

  • Membership-based adult pottery classes—weekly and welcoming
  • A 10,000 sq. ft. studio with cozy seating, snacks, and space to hang out
  • Friday night is singles-only, but all nights are inclusive and fun
  • 500+ glazes, 100+ underglazes, and thousands of tools
  • Four instructors in every class—including Dan Pearce, who’s at every session

We’re not a “friendly” studio. We’re a place where friendliness becomes real connection—because we build in the time, space, and repetition that friendship requires.
