Pottery in Utah Can Help When You Struggle With Self-Worth

When you live with low self-worth, it shows up everywhere. You doubt your ideas. You assume you're a burden. You apologize just for existing. And maybe worst of all, you stop doing things that bring you joy—because some part of you doesn’t believe you deserve them.

At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, we’ve seen something amazing happen: adults start to believe in themselves again, just by showing up and making art. Pottery is one of the most healing forms of creative expression—especially for those struggling with self-worth.

How Pottery Rebuilds Confidence and Self-Trust

  • You see progress over time. Each week, your skills grow—and so does your sense of accomplishment.
  • Your ideas matter. There’s no right or wrong way to make a pot. Every decision is yours.
  • You stop seeking perfection. Clay teaches patience, flexibility, and how to embrace the process.
  • You belong. Our members are all adults, many of whom came to pottery to heal just like you.

Our studio is unlike anything else in Utah. We offer weekly classes through monthly memberships—not one-off events. This allows you to build meaningful habits, relationships, and creative resilience over time.

A Safe Place to Just Be

“I used to feel like I wasn’t good at anything. Coming here reminded me that I can make beautiful things. I matter. My work matters. And I’m not alone.” — Clay Hole Member

We’ve designed our studio to feel like home. With over 500 glazes, thousands of tools, luxurious sitting areas, and supportive instructors, you’ll feel safe exploring your creativity at your own pace. There are no grades, no competition, and no judgment—just clay, community, and care.

Owner Dan Pearce personally attends every class and helps create an environment of encouragement and warmth. He knows what it’s like to struggle—and what it means to rebuild from the inside out.
