“Pottery night is the one time I feel fully human again. No expectations—just breathing, creating, and being me.” — Clay Hole Member

According to the American Psychological Association, nearly 3 in 5 employees report negative impacts of work-related stress, including a lack of work-life balance. Pottery is one small, powerful way to take some of that life back.
