Burned Out from Work? Pottery in Utah Helps You Recover

Work burnout isn’t just about being tired—it’s about being empty. When your days blur together and your evenings are spent trying to recharge just enough to do it all again, it’s a sign something’s out of balance. Burnout can steal your energy, your motivation, and even your identity.

At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we’ve seen time and again how pottery offers burned-out adults a safe space to unwind, rebuild, and rediscover joy—even if it’s just for a few hours a week.

Pottery Gives Your Nervous System a Break

Your brain isn’t lazy—it’s exhausted. Pottery is a hands-on, screen-free, no-pressure practice that slows your body and mind. Shaping clay lets you shift from hustle to presence, from pressure to play. Many of our members say it’s the only time all week they feel calm.

You don’t have to be an artist. You just have to be ready to come back to yourself.

“Pottery class is my sanctuary. I show up burned out, but I always leave feeling like myself again.” — Clay Hole Member

Burnout has become so widespread that the National Institutes of Health now classifies it as a real occupational phenomenon. But healing doesn’t have to be clinical. Sometimes, it just starts with clay.
