Under Pressure at Work? Pottery in Utah Helps You Unwind

Stress at work doesn’t always come from the big things—it builds quietly, day after day. The constant deadlines. The inbox that never ends. The pressure to keep performing no matter how burned out you feel. That pressure takes a toll on your body, your mind, and your ability to enjoy life outside of work.

That’s why more and more adults in Utah are turning to pottery. It’s not just a hobby—it’s an emotional reset button. A way to get your hands off the keyboard and into the clay. A chance to feel human again.
