Pottery Classes for Shy Adults in Utah

Not a fan of big crowds or loud spaces? You’re not alone. At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we offer pottery classes for shy adults that are gentle, welcoming, and designed for people who prefer quiet creativity over small talk and overstimulation.

Our classes are filled with kind, respectful adults who want to create without judgment or pressure. Whether you’re new to pottery or just looking for a peaceful escape, this is your space to grow.

You Deserve to Create Comfortably

At The Clay Hole, we believe creativity shouldn’t be intimidating. We’ve created an inclusive, low-pressure environment where you can focus on your work without being put on the spot. Speak when you’re ready—or not at all. There’s no expectation here.

  • No icebreakers, forced interactions, or loud group energy
  • Private and spacious workstations—wheel and hand-building options
  • Four instructors per class for gentle, one-on-one support
  • Calm, respectful studio culture that values quiet focus

Many of our members are shy, introverted, or socially anxious. You’ll also find neurodivergent-friendly spaces and a zero-judgment atmosphere that allows everyone to feel safe and supported.

Flexible Classes With No Pressure

Our monthly memberships include one 3.5-hour class each week, with a variety of options to suit your schedule:

  • Monday Morning: 10:30 AM – 2:00 PM
  • Evenings (Monday–Friday): 6:30 PM – 10:00 PM

There are no contracts, and you’re never expected to perform or “fit in.” Just show up and enjoy working with clay at your own pace.
