What Our Members Are Saying...
Every time I walk in, I feel like I can breathe
I’m not good with new places. But the first time I came here, someone offered me cocoa and showed me where to get tools. Every time I walk in, I feel like I can breathe. No one cares if I’m chatty or quiet. I just get to make stuff and be left alone… but in a good way.

I didn’t think I’d fall in love this hard with a hobby
I was just looking for something to do at night that wasn’t scrolling my phone or drinking. I didn’t think I’d fall in love this hard with a hobby, but here we are. Pottery got its claws in me. Now I’m signing up for bigger memberships and trying not to become a full-blown pottery Pinterest addict.

If I could give 10 stars, I would!
If I could give 10 stars, I would! First of all, there’s so many option to create whatever style of project that you’re looking to work on. Once you decide what you’re going to work on, there’s a knowledgeable instructor right there at hand to help you every step along the way. The owner, Dan Pearce, had been present at every class interacting with all of the students and getting to know us each night that I’ve been there.

I made a friend and a weird little frog mug
My first class I was like, please no one talk to me. I was anxious and had a long day. But by the end of it I’d made a friend and a weird little frog mug and somehow didn’t want to leave. I don’t even like frogs. I love this place.

I didn’t expect to feel this safe here
I’ve never stuck with a hobby for more than a few weeks. This is the first one that felt like mine. I didn’t expect to feel this safe here. There’s no judgment. No pressure. Just messy people making beautiful things and letting each other be.

This is the only place where I actually relax
I have ADHD and a high-stress job. Sitting still is impossible. But when I’m at The Clay Hole, something in me just settles.
This is the only place where I actually relax. I’ve made things I’m proud of. I’ve also made some disasters. Both felt equally worth it.

It’s not just about clay
I thought I was just taking a pottery class. But after three months, I’m sleeping better, I’m not as lonely, and I’m learning to let go of perfectionism.
It’s not just about clay. It’s about community, and quiet, and laughing so hard you snort when someone’s handle falls off in the glaze bucket.

I didn’t realize how much I needed a place like this
I moved here a year ago and still hadn’t really met anyone. I figured I’d try one class and see. I didn’t realize how much I needed a place like this. People are kind. It’s warm. It’s weird. I finally feel like I’m somewhere I want to stay for a while.

I forgot what it felt like to have fun
The first time I came, I made a bowl. The second time, I made a lopsided candle holder and laughed harder than I had in months. I forgot what it felt like to have fun. Not productive fun. Just… fun fun. I’m gonna keep showing up until I remember more.

I’ve met more real people here than anywhere else
It’s not church. It’s not a PTA meeting. It’s not some Utah networking thing. I’ve met more real people here than anywhere else in this state. No one’s pretending. We just hang out and make stuff and talk about life. Honestly, I wish I found it sooner.

This place gave me my joy back
After my divorce, I didn’t know what to do with myself. I was alone in a new apartment with nothing but Netflix and takeout. My friend dragged me to The Clay Hole and now I’ve got clay under my nails and something to look forward to every week. This place gave me my joy back.

Am loving it so far!
Just started taking my first pottery classes here and am loving it so far! So many options for tools, clay, glazes, and more! They have options for everyone from beginners to advanced potters.
There are lots of instructors around to help, and the sense of community is great! The space is beautiful and well thought out. If you've ever dreamed of trying more than just painting pottery, I would highly recommend this place.

I LOVE The Clay Hole and have become addicted!
I LOVE The Clay Hole and have become addicted! All I think about when I’m not in there is what I want to make and what tools I want to play with. This has brought a stay at home mom who was desperate for community so much joy and sense of self.
I cannot recommend enough to anyone who wants a place to express themselves through art or want to try something new surrounded by the kindest people (instructors and students)!

I've never seen a studio so well-equipped
and thoughtfully designed
I joined the studio, and honestly, I've never seen a studio so well-equipped and thoughtfully designed down to the last detail. The place is very inviting and tastefully decorated, making you feel like you're out having a good time. In every class, there’s a significant presence of knowledgeable instructors who help you both work and learn. I highly recommend it!

Exactly what I want from a studio and a community...
An amazing studio with everything you need to make amazing pottery. I started going here after years of looking for the perfect spot and am so glad I found the Clay Hole. The people and the environment are great and exactly what I want from a studio and a community.

I LOVE this studio! They have such an amazing selection of tools and materials, and they’ll help you learn everything you need to know to make a beautiful piece of art.
