Pottery for Anxiety and Mental Health Relief in Utah

Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your mind is work with your hands. At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we offer pottery classes that go beyond technique—they’re a form of grounding, healing, and self-connection.

Whether you deal with stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, or you're simply seeking calm in a chaotic world, clay gives you something still and steady to return to. It slows you down. It quiets your brain. And it connects you with a supportive, like-minded community.

Why Pottery Helps Mental Health

• Hands-on clay work is deeply meditative and soothing
• Slowing down the wheel or hand-building centers your focus
• You enter a creative “flow state” where anxiety melts away
• No judgment or competition—just process and expression
• You’re surrounded by calm people in a beautiful, open space

Our studio is intentionally welcoming to people who are anxious, neurodivergent, or simply going through something. No need to mask. No need to talk if you don’t want to. Just show up, breathe, and create.

“Pottery is my therapy. It’s the one time a week I stop overthinking and just feel calm. The Clay Hole has helped me heal more than I expected.”
— Rae S., member since 2023
