Many experienced potters in Utah already belong to other studios—but still choose to join The Clay Hole. Here’s why they’re adding a second studio home.

Why Potters With Other Studios Are Still Joining The Clay Hole

You might already have access to a kiln. A wheel. A shelf. Maybe even a decent community. So why join another studio?

We asked our members who still keep ties to other places—and their answers all pointed to the same thing: The Clay Hole offers something their home studio doesn’t.

It’s the Vibe. The Freedom. The Fun.

Even the best studios can feel… sterile. Quiet. Conservative. The Clay Hole is built different. It’s alive. Laughter, music, midnight sculpting, surprise snacks, creative chaos in all the best ways.

This isn’t where you go to “check a box.” This is where you go when you want to love clay again—and have fun doing it. That’s why people keep memberships at two places. Their old studio gives them routine. This one gives them oxygen.

There’s Room for Both

You don’t have to break up with your current studio. We’re not trying to steal you—we’re offering you a second home. One that feels wild and welcoming and new.

Conclusion: This Doesn’t Have to Be an Either/Or

Some members keep both. Some stay a while, then transition. Some visit when they need a breath of fresh clay. You’re allowed to do pottery your way—and we’re here whenever you’re ready.
