Lost Your Sense of Self? Pottery in Utah Can Help

You used to know who you were. But somewhere between life, expectations, and burnout, you feel like a stranger in your own skin. You’ve poured yourself into other people, roles, routines—but now, you can’t quite find *you.* If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And there is a gentle way back.

At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we help adults reconnect with themselves—through the slow, grounding, and often transformative art of pottery. You don’t need to talk it out. You just need to sit down, center some clay, and remember what it feels like to create something for yourself.

How Pottery Restores Your Inner Self

• You make without judgment. There’s no “right way” here—just your way.
• You remember what you like. What shapes, colors, or techniques feel like *you?*
• You create your own pace. Pottery honors slowness, softness, and exploration.
• You reclaim your voice through your hands. Each piece reflects something real inside you.

Our classes are ongoing—not one-night events—because rediscovery takes time. That’s why we offer weekly pottery classes through monthly membership. You’ll come back each week and slowly, quietly rebuild a relationship with yourself.

A Member’s Experience of Coming Back to Themselves

“I didn’t even know what I liked anymore. Pottery gave me a way to try again—without pressure. Each piece I make feels like a breadcrumb back to myself.”

Our 10,000 sq. ft. studio is a sanctuary of calm and creativity. With over 500 glazes, thousands of tools, cozy lounges, drinks, snacks, and game areas—it’s more than a space. It’s an invitation. You’re not lost. You’re just overdue for reconnection.

Studio owner Dan Pearce is at every class. He’s walked this path too. And he’s built a space where you don’t have to explain your way in—you just come, and let the clay do what it does.
