When You Struggle to Trust Yourself, Pottery Helps You Begin Again

Maybe you second-guess every decision. Maybe you’ve been told your instincts were wrong. Pottery gently invites you to trust yourself again.

At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we’ve seen how pottery rebuilds more than just mugs and bowls—it rebuilds confidence. It rebuilds trust. It reminds people that they *do* know what they’re doing, even if the world has taught them otherwise.

Each piece you create is a whisper of self-trust. And over time, those whispers get louder.

Why Pottery Helps Rebuild Self-Trust

Self-trust erodes when we’re criticized, ignored, gaslit, or broken down by systems that tell us we’re not enough. Pottery rewrites that narrative. You choose what to make. You decide when it’s done. Your hands begin to believe in themselves again.

• You shape something real with your own hands—no one else’s
• Each project is an act of choice, not compliance
• There’s no wrong answer—only learning and play
• Progress is visible, tangible, and personal
• You start hearing your own voice again—and listening to it

According to Psychology Today, rebuilding self-trust requires safe experimentation, autonomy, and acceptance. Pottery offers all three, inside a studio built for healing. See Membership Options & Prices
