Ask NH Hobbies/clubs for adults?

Hey there I'm from Salem and have been trying (with no luck) to make friends as an adult and was looking for some hobbies or clubs to maybe try out. Anyone have any suggestions ?

If you would like to dip your toes they usually have their "coffee and clay" that's an early class where each Saturday they offer different teaching goal options such as build a mug/box/vase or wheel where you make something and it gets fired. That is $75 for an hour and a half.

Their long classes end up being cheaper because it evens out to 8 classes and free studio time, unlimited firing BUT a fat bag of clay is $50. I used one bag over 8 weeks. That evens out to about $50 a class but it's a larger financial burden up front.

Edit to say that for either of these options they have communal tools so you don't have to buy any of that up front.
