Description
Highland Cow Clay Sculpture Workshop – Create Your Own Iconic Cow in Clay!
Join us for a truly unique clay sculpture workshop inspired by the beloved Highland cow—those shaggy-coated, long-horned icons of the Scottish Highlands! In this fun and immersive hand-building pottery class, you’ll sculpt your very own Highland cow from clay, guided by our experienced instructors every step of the way.
We’ll start by getting to know the Highland cow’s distinctive features—their flowing hair, strong build, and gentle nature—which you’ll then bring to life in clay. This hands-on ceramic art experience is perfect for beginners and clay lovers alike, offering a relaxed day of creativity, sculpting, and connection.
You’ll learn how to:
Shape and build a sturdy clay body
Sculpt the expressive face and signature horns
Texture that fabulous long hair to capture the Highland cow’s rustic charm
Whether you're looking for a creative escape, a fun day with friends, or a unique pottery workshop near Brisbane, this is your chance to hand-build a ceramic piece that’s full of personality.
