Pottery Helps Every Personality Type Practice Letting Go
Perfectionist or free spirit, thinker or feeler—pottery teaches all types to let go. At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, clay becomes your greatest teacher.
Sometimes the glaze drips wrong. Sometimes the handle cracks. Sometimes your piece explodes in the kiln. Pottery teaches you that beauty still comes through. That failure isn’t the end. That letting go is part of the process.
At our studio in Draper, Utah, we see members learn to release control, silence self-doubt, and trust the process—often without even realizing it’s happening. That’s the magic of working with clay.
Especially healing for: ISTJ | INTJ | ENFJ
🫳 Pottery Breaks Perfectionism
INTJs and ISTJs often struggle most when things go off script. Pottery lovingly refuses to cooperate—and teaches them that imperfections don’t mean failure.
🌊 Feelers Learn Not to Overattach
ENFJs, ISFJs, and INFPs often pour so much of themselves into their pieces. When a bowl cracks, it stings—but over time, they learn that beauty isn’t always in the outcome. It’s in the experience.
🎨 The Process Is the Point
Clay doesn’t always cooperate. Kilns don’t always listen. But pottery reminds you that creating matters more than controlling. That joy comes not from getting it right—but from showing up with clay on your hands and a smirk on your face.
At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we’re not trying to make you perfect. We’re here to help you feel free. Pottery is a slow, grounding, humbling teacher—and it always has something to say.
