The Best Way to Meet Singles in Utah Without Using a Dating App

If dating apps just aren’t working for you anymore, you’re not alone. Many Utah singles are deleting the apps and choosing a more natural, fulfilling way to meet people—by actually doing things together.

At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we host weekly pottery classes for adults, including a Friday night class exclusively for singles. It’s low pressure, fun, and full of people who are also tired of digital small talk and dead-end conversations.

No algorithms. No profile pictures. Just humans connecting over clay, conversation, and creativity.

Why Pottery Is a Game-Changer for Singles

Instead of sitting across a table trying to impress someone, you get to focus on a creative activity—while still being around other singles doing the same. It's bonding, not performance.

  • You’ll see the same people every week and get to know them naturally
  • Pottery is hands-on and relaxing—perfect for easing social pressure
  • There’s space to talk, laugh, or simply do your thing
  • No weird dating dynamics—just real human connection

Our singles night isn’t a “dating event”—but it’s where a lot of real friendships and relationships have quietly started.

Why The Clay Hole Is So Different

  • We offer memberships, not one-time events—because connection takes time
  • Friday evenings are for singles only
  • Classes are taught by 4 instructors (2 wheel, 2 hand-building)
  • Thousands of tools and over 500 glazes and 100 underglazes
  • Relaxing studio space with sofas, snacks, drinks, and creative vibes
  • Owned and operated by potter Dan Pearce, who personally attends every class

You won’t find this combination of community, creativity, and consistency anywhere else in Utah.
