Hand Built Highland Cows

Due to the popularity of our first highland cow workshop we have decided to run this one a second time! Read further if you're interested in this workshop.

In this clay sculpting session on 18th April we will be sitting down for a 2.5hour workshop and hand building our cows. We will be using soft white earthenware clay, with techniques such as making pinch pots, learning about score and slip, and using a range of pottery tools. Our cows will then be carefully dried and fired at the studio. This will take 3-4 weeks.

Once fired your (now pottery) cow will be available for decoration, at your leisure in our studio during our regular hours - no workshop, just using your imagination.

The cost for the combined sessions is £35. The £5 booking deposit is taken off the balance and you then pay £20 on the first workshop and £10 when you decorate. If you'd prefer to have your cow simply clear glazed or to take home and paint with your own acrylic paints, this is also an option - with no additional painting fee.

Once fired we will hold your cow for up to three months for you to decorate. If you do not decorate within this time we reserve the right to dispose of it (due to limited storage).
