For Adults Who Feel Left Out—Here’s a Place You Can Belong

Feeling like an outsider doesn’t just happen in school. As adults, it can hit just as hard—maybe harder. Everyone seems to have their circles already. The invites don’t come. You try something new and feel like a guest in someone else’s group. It’s lonely. It’s frustrating. And you’re not the only one feeling it.

At The Clay Hole in Draper, we’ve built something different. A creative studio where the only thing that matters is showing up and making something with your hands. No cliques. No prerequisites. Just clay, people, and a space that’s genuinely welcoming to everyone who walks through the door.

When You're Tired of Feeling on the Outside

Whether you’re new to Utah, newly single, deconstructing your faith, or just don’t vibe with traditional groups—this is a place where none of that disqualifies you. In fact, it’s what makes this community so special. We’re all here because we wanted something more real.

  • Weekly classes give you routine and familiar faces
  • Friendships form slowly, with no pressure to “fit in”
  • Everyone’s focused on creating—not judging

What You'll Find at The Clay Hole

  • Weekly pottery classes for adults—no one-time “experiences”
  • A massive 10,000 sq. ft. studio with creative stations, snacks, and social space
  • Friday night is singles-only, but every night is open and welcoming
  • Access to 500+ glazes, 100+ underglazes, and every tool you could need
  • Four instructors in every class, including Dan Pearce, who personally attends every session

You don’t need to have a group. You don’t need to be good at pottery. You just need to come. We’ll meet you where you’re at.
