Why Pottery Is So Good for People Who Struggle with Never Having Weekend Plans

It's Friday night. Your phone's silent. The group chat’s dead. And once again, you're wondering why everyone else seems to have a life while you’re staring at a screen. If weekends feel like a letdown—or worse, a reminder of loneliness—you’re not alone.

At The Clay Hole, Friday night means something different. It means clay under your nails. Laughter from the glaze table. Snacks, cocoa, and music in the background. It means a tradition you can look forward to—every single week.

You don’t have to make plans. We already did it for you.
