Just Surviving, Not Living? Pottery in Utah Can Help

You’re doing the things. Getting through the days. But joy? Energy? A sense of actually *living?* That part feels like it disappeared a long time ago. If you’ve been stuck in survival mode, barely keeping up, you’re not broken. You’re just overdue for restoration. Pottery can help.

At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we’ve seen hundreds of adults walk through the door with tired eyes and heavy hearts—then slowly come back to life through clay, creativity, and community. You don’t have to be an artist. You just have to show up.

Why Pottery Shifts You from Surviving to Living

  • It reintroduces joy. Small moments of color, texture, and expression bring you back to life.
  • It gets you out of your head. Clay grounds you in the here and now.
  • It builds weekly rhythm. A simple routine you can count on—even when life is chaotic.
  • It reminds you that you're more than your responsibilities. You’re a creator. A human. A whole person.

That’s why we offer weekly classes through a monthly membership. Because you don’t need another crash-course experience. You need time, space, and something that gently welcomes you back to *yourself.*

A Member Who Was Just Getting By

“I was just going through the motions. Pottery didn’t cure my life—but it gave me one night a week where I felt real. That night started to spread into everything else.”

The Clay Hole is nearly 10,000 square feet of breathing room—full of tools, glazes, soft seating, snacks, drinks, and good humans who *get it.* No pressure. No masks. Just one safe place to exist, create, and rebuild from the inside out.

Studio owner Dan Pearce is present at every class, and designed The Clay Hole to help people just like you remember what it feels like to truly be alive again.
