Feeling Ungrounded Lately? Pottery Can Help You Land Again

There are times in life when you feel scattered. Disconnected. Untethered from yourself. Maybe you’re going through something big—or maybe it’s just been building over time. Either way, you know you’re not fully here. Not present. Not rooted.

At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we’ve seen how pottery gently brings people back into their bodies and into their breath. It’s more than art—it’s grounding. It’s permission to stop spiraling. It’s connection through clay.

Pottery Helps You Reconnect with Something Solid

When you shape clay, you’re not on a screen. You’re not multitasking. You’re not lost in your head. You’re present. You’re here. Pottery gives you a rhythm—slow, steady, and entirely under your control. That alone can begin to rewire your sense of safety and calm.

Gentle Consistency Can Rebuild a Sense of Safety

Pottery is low-stakes. Quiet. Nonverbal, if you want it to be. It gives your nervous system something reliable. It’s the opposite of the world that’s been draining you. And the more time you spend with clay, the more you start to feel capable again.

Studies show that working with your hands in a mindful, repetitive way helps regulate your body’s stress response. According to the National Library of Medicine, tactile creative practices like pottery can dramatically improve emotional regulation, especially for adults experiencing disconnection or trauma.

Conclusion

You deserve to feel solid again. You deserve to feel like you belong to yourself. Pottery is one small, beautiful way to come back home—inside your own body, your breath, and your creative spirit.
