Our most requested, sell-out workshop - back again (but never for long!)
If you’ve been waiting for this one… this is your sign ✨
Join us for a beautifully relaxed, hands-on session where you’ll create your own adorable Highland cow from clay - full of personality, charm, and those iconic shaggy locks.
You’ll be guided step-by-step through a simple pinch pot technique to form the body, before bringing your cow to life with a head, horns (go big or keep them sweet and subtle), and that all-important cute nose.
Then comes everyone’s favourite part - using our clay extruder to create that signature Highland cow fringe. It’s surprisingly satisfying and always gets a few smiles around the table!
No experience needed at all - this workshop is designed to be easy, mindful, and genuinely enjoyable, whether you come alone or with friends.
Your Highland cow will be around 10cm long and full of rustic charm. We keep the body in its natural clay for that soft, organic look, with the option to add a touch of glaze to the horns if you’d like a little extra detail.
