Pottery: A Dopamine-Boosting Hobby for ADHD in Utah
If you live with ADHD, you know the struggle: your brain is constantly searching for stimulation, novelty, or a hit of dopamine to stay focused. That’s why pottery is such a perfect match. At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we offer pottery classes that light up ADHD brains with hands-on creativity, instant reward, and sensory satisfaction.
Instead of fighting for focus, you’ll find yourself effortlessly zoning into a task that actually fuels your brain—because clay works with your wiring, not against it.
What Makes Pottery a Dopamine Goldmine?
According to ADDitude Magazine, the ADHD brain is wired to seek dopamine. Pottery delivers it naturally through sensory input, creativity, and accomplishment.
- Spinning clay provides soothing, repetitive stimulation
- Colorful glazes offer a burst of visual reward
- Every finished piece = instant dopamine hit
- Hyperfocus kicks in without forcing it
Even the NIH recognizes pottery as a tool for therapeutic regulation—because it works directly with the body and nervous system, not just the mind.
