Pottery isn’t just creative—it’s revealing. At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, people of every personality type reconnect with who they truly are.
Some hobbies distract you. Pottery reintroduces you to yourself. In a world full of noise, pottery creates a space of clarity—and that’s why so many people from all walks of life discover things about themselves at the wheel.
At our Draper, Utah studio, we see it daily: the confident become contemplative. The anxious become expressive. The skeptical soften. The lost remember. Clay doesn’t just shape—it reveals.

🔍 Pottery Is a Mirror
Every stage of clay shows you something about yourself. How you handle frustration. How you respond to slow progress. How you approach imperfections. Every bowl, every mug—it’s a reflection of who you are in that moment.
🌀 It Shifts You Into Presence
For INTPs and INTJs who overanalyze—or ENFPs and ISFPs who feel scattered—pottery invites you into deep now-ness. Your mind slows. Your breath returns. And your true self steps forward.
🌿 It Reconnects You With Joy, Grief, and Everything In Between
Clay gives your emotions somewhere to go. Many of our members in Draper, Utah have told us that pottery became their quiet form of therapy—the thing that helped them process change, trauma, celebration, or simply existing in a busy world.
