Pottery Classes for People with Anxiety or Depression in Utah

At The Clay Hole in Draper, we know that pottery isn’t just art—it’s therapy for your hands, your mind, and your nervous system. If you live with anxiety, depression, or chronic stress, our weekly pottery classes are designed to create space for calm, healing, and connection.

You don’t need experience. You don’t need to talk about anything you don’t want to. Just show up, touch the clay, and let your mind slow down. Pottery demands presence—and that alone can be powerful.

Why Pottery Helps with Mental Health

• Repetitive motion of working with clay soothes the nervous system
• Creative focus helps quiet anxious thoughts
• Nonverbal expression gives feelings a place to go
• Weekly structure offers consistency and stability
• Safe, inclusive community provides connection without pressure

We’re not a clinical therapy studio, but we are a deeply healing space. Many of our members are working through tough seasons or living with ongoing mental health challenges. You’ll be surrounded by people who get it—and never judged for where you’re at.

“Pottery became the one thing I looked forward to every week. It was the calm in the storm of my anxiety. This place literally helped me survive.”
— Riley J., member since 2023
