Why Pottery Is the Ultimate Grounding Practice for All Personality Types
Pottery centers your mind and body. At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, people of all personality types use it to reset, reconnect, and stay grounded.
Life moves fast. Minds race. Screens overstimulate. But clay? Clay slows you down. It pulls you back into your body, your breath, your creativity. And no matter what kind of personality you have, that reset is powerful.
At our studio in Draper, Utah, we see people walk in feeling chaotic—and leave feeling whole. And that’s true whether you’re a chill ISFP, an overthinky INTP, or a passionate ENFJ.

🌀 For the Overthinkers
INTJs, INTPs, and ISTPs need a break from the mental hamster wheel. Pottery gets them out of their heads and into something tactile, sensory, and flow-based.
💗 For the Feelers
INFPs, ISFJs, and ESFJs often feel emotionally overstimulated. Pottery gives them quiet, gentle focus. The rhythm, the glaze colors, the centering—it’s a balm.
⚡ For the Energetic Types
High-energy types like ENFPs, ENTPs, and ESTPs are used to bouncing from thing to thing. Pottery helps them channel all that energy into creativity with purpose—and the stillness doesn’t feel boring.
At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we’ve seen pottery become a grounding ritual for people who didn’t even know they needed one. If your nervous system is begging for something slower and softer, this might be it.
