One night that is yours. You came for the hours where your phone is face down and your hands are too covered in clay to reach for it. A hard month is exactly when a person needs that.
Your reason is reason enough. Money got tight. The calendar filled up. Something went sideways that nobody planned for. None of that is a character flaw.
Two taps, and your to-do list is empty. Pay for the months you need. No portal step, nothing to cancel, no text to confirm. We move your billing date, and it starts again on its own.
Fill the seats yourself and keep the profit. There is no commission on a ticket you sell. After the room rent and 2.7 percent card processing, the rest is yours.
We do not fill your seats. So we wrote down the plan we would follow, for artists who would rather make things than sell them.
We love helping promote, for a cut. An email list over 1,000 people and a social following around 3 million worldwide, though most of it is nowhere near Draper.

Four contests, three parties, two open houses, six free weeks, six nights of Clayraoke and Trivia, our first ever Gallery Night, and six raku workshops in Alpine. Every one of them is on this page, with a countdown to the next one and a button that puts any of it straight into your calendar.

Four a year: Planters, Lamps, Fall Holidays and Autumn, and Christmas and Winter. Make your piece here at the studio, finish it by the deadline and turn it in. Then everybody votes.
Tap a kind of event to see just those. Every card has its own calendar button, and finished events fade out on their own as the year goes by. The six raku workshops are also gathered in one place further down this page.

Free and open to everyone · Ages 6 and up with a parent
Free for the public. Try the wheel, build something by hand, look around, and meet the instructors. Bring the friend who keeps saying they want to try it.
Every studio member is invited, and so are the people you bring. Come for a fun, dressed-up night and support our featured artists as they show and sell their work.
Raku is the firing where a pot comes out of the kiln glowing and goes straight into fire. We run it on Dan’s parents’ property in Alpine, twenty people at a time, and it is the one part of this calendar that costs extra. Raku workshops are not included in membership, and they are open to current and past members.
Daytime raku
March 20 and November 13
9 AM to about 4 PM.
Glazed pots, flaming cans, every color in real sunlight.
$150 a spot.
Nighttime raku
May 15 and September 25
7:45 PM to about 3 AM.
Glowing pots under the floodlights.
$150 a spot.
Horsehair and feather
June 26 and October 16
10 AM to about 3 PM.
No glaze. Hair and feathers burned into polished clay.
The two open houses and Gallery Night. Everything else is for members, and the free weeks are how members bring brand new people in for free.
How do I get a party ticket?
Each party page has a button for its $3 ticket. Current and paused members can buy up to two, one for themselves and one for a guest.
Do events use one of my classes?
Clayraoke and Trivia nights do, because they run during a normal Friday night session. Parties, contests, open houses, raku workshops and Gallery Night do not.
Can I bring a guest?
To a party, yes: one guest with their own $3 ticket. During a free week, as many brand new people as you like, free. On any other night, a guest comes on a normal Bring a Friend pass.
Are raku workshops included in membership?
No. They are the one optional, paid part of the year: $150 a spot for daytime and nighttime raku, $175 for horsehair and feather. Open to current and past members, 18 and up, twenty spots each.
Is Clayraoke and Trivia guaranteed?
It runs every other month, and we reserve the right to cancel a night when interest is not there to support it. Check its page before you plan around one.
Can I enter a contest piece I already made?
Yes, as long as you made it here at The Clay Hole and it is finished by the deadline. There is no start date.
What if a date changes?
This page and the event’s own page change first, along with the studio calendar.
Not a member yet
Almost all of this comes with a membership
The contests, the parties, the free weeks, Clayraoke, and a studio full of people who become your people. Raku workshops are the one extra, and members get first crack at them. Membership is month to month, from $145 at Green Level. Or start with one of the free open houses and see it for yourself.

Tell us where to send it and this month’s deal lands in your inbox. If this month runs out, you get next month’s before it opens.
Almost done
Where should we send it?
Done
On its way.
It should land in the next few minutes. One thing while you wait: we are members only and we do not run walk-in tours, so the virtual tour is the closest you can get to standing in one.
Would you want to know if a Clay Hole opened near you?
We started in Draper, Utah, and we would like to be in more places than that. Where they go next is the part we have not worked out yet.
Where are you?
The zip code is the part that counts.
That is how we work out where the demand actually is. The rest is so we know who to tell.
Got it
You are on the map.
Being straight with you: this could be a long wait, and we will not email you in the meantime. If your area is where the numbers land, you will be the first to know.
