Lost Yourself? Pottery in Utah Helps You Come Back

You don’t recognize the person in the mirror anymore. Somewhere along the way—through caregiving, surviving, working, or masking—you stopped being *you.* If you’ve lost yourself, pottery might be the most healing way to start finding your way back.

At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we’ve welcomed countless adults who feel unmoored. Pottery doesn’t ask who you used to be. It simply invites you to *be.* And in the process of making, something beautiful happens: you start to remember yourself.

Why Pottery Helps You Reconnect With You

  • It’s quiet and grounding. No pressure. Just clay, breath, and slow discovery.
  • It lets you explore safely. No one here expects you to be anything but yourself.
  • It helps you create identity again. Your hands start shaping more than clay—they shape *you.*
  • It builds weekly rhythm. Just one peaceful place where you’re not a role—you’re a person.

That’s why we don’t do one-off events. We offer weekly pottery classes through monthly membership. Because coming back to yourself takes time—and you deserve a place where that time is honored.

From a Member Who Felt Completely Gone

“I didn’t know who I was anymore. Pottery helped me find pieces of myself again—slowly, gently. Each week felt like a breadcrumb back home.”

The Clay Hole is nearly 10,000 square feet of soft light, calming energy, and creative sanctuary. With 500+ glazes, thousands of tools, chill seating areas, snacks, drinks, and instructors who care, it’s more than a studio. It’s a lifeline.

Owner Dan Pearce is present at every class, and knows how to hold space for people rediscovering who they are. You don’t have to explain. Just show up, and let the clay do what it does.
