Pottery Classes for Adults with Social Anxiety in Utah

If the thought of joining a class makes your heart race, you’re not alone. The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah is a safe space for people with social anxiety to create, connect quietly, and just be.

There’s no forced interaction, no awkward icebreakers, and no expectations to “perform.” Our pottery classes are peaceful, welcoming, and built for humans who crave calm, low-pressure environments where they can show up exactly as they are.

Why Pottery Works for Social Anxiety

• Quiet, focused activity—no pressure to talk
• Instructors are kind, gentle, and never pushy
• Everyone is there to create—not to impress
• Calming, grounding practice with your hands
• You can be fully present without small talk

Many of our members live with anxiety or are simply introverts who prefer to connect through shared experience, not words. There’s room for silence, softness, and solitude here. You belong even if you never say a word.

“I’ve always avoided group classes because of my anxiety. The Clay Hole was the first place where I felt safe just being quiet. I’m finally thriving.”
— Taylor M., member since 2023
