Feeling Lost in Life? Pottery in Utah Can Ground You

You wake up, go through the motions, and wonder quietly: Is this all there is? Maybe you’ve outgrown the life you built. Maybe something ended—your marriage, your job, your faith. Or maybe nothing big happened at all, and yet you feel... unanchored. If you're feeling lost, you are not alone.

At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we've created a space where adults can reconnect with themselves through clay. Pottery becomes a physical, creative way to rebuild your identity—one piece at a time.

Why Pottery Helps When You Feel Adrift

  • It gives you purpose. Each week, you’re building something that didn’t exist before.
  • It reconnects you with your body. Your hands stay busy while your mind gently resets.
  • It gets you out of your head. Pottery is present, grounding, and nonjudgmental.
  • It creates routine. Weekly classes offer structure without pressure.

We don’t do one-off classes or drop-in nights. Everything at The Clay Hole happens through weekly pottery memberships—because feeling found again takes more than just one night. It takes time, and we’ve built a place for that.

A Member’s Journey Back to Themselves

“I didn’t know who I was anymore. I joined on a whim, thinking I’d try one month. Two years later, I’m still here—because here, I started to feel like me again.”

Inside our nearly 10,000 sq. ft. studio, you’ll find hundreds of tools, over 500 glazes, comfy couches, game areas, snacks, cold drinks, and warm people. It’s more than a pottery studio—it’s a lifeline for many who feel like they’re drifting.

Owner Dan Pearce is at every class. He and his team of four instructors make sure every member feels seen, supported, and reminded that their presence matters—even on the days they feel lost.
