Feeling Overwhelmed? Pottery in Utah Offers Relief

You’ve got too much on your plate—and no space left in your mind. Your calendar is full, your to-do list never ends, and everything feels like *too much.* Whether it’s anxiety, burnout, or just the chaos of adult life, overwhelm is real—and it steals your peace. But you don’t have to stay stuck there.

At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we offer more than just pottery—we offer a way to *exhale.* When your brain is buzzing and your shoulders are tight, sitting down at a wheel or table with clay in your hands brings you back to center. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to show up.

How Pottery Soothes Overwhelm

  • It slows you down. Pottery forces you to move intentionally—not reactively.
  • It quiets your thoughts. Clay requires just enough focus to hush the mental noise.
  • It gives you control. You shape the clay—something tangible, beautiful, and yours.
  • It builds a calming routine. One night a week that’s just for *you.*

Overwhelm doesn’t disappear overnight. That’s why we offer weekly pottery classes through monthly membership. Every session adds peace. Every week gets a little easier. Pottery becomes your anchor.

The Clay Hole is nearly 10,000 square feet of calm, color, and connection. With 500+ glazes, thousands of tools, soft couches, drinks, snacks, and kind instructors, our space is designed to ease your nervous system and welcome you back to yourself.

Owner Dan Pearce is present at every class. He created The Clay Hole to help adults find peace in the middle of the chaos—and to make art that gives back more than it takes.
