In this unique Dairy Cow Pottery Workshop, you will immerse yourself into the wonderful world of pottery — with a creative twist! Discover working with clay as you learn how to create your very own dairy cow inspired masterpiece, then bring it to life by painting it with vibrant underglazes in the same session. Don't worry if you are a beginner, as this class is designed for all skill levels. We will guide you through every step and help you nurture your creativity in an encouraging environment.
During the workshop, you will be taught how to mould the clay using hand-building techniques before moving on to painting your finished cow with colourful underglazes — making this a longer, immersive session of 2.5 to 3 hours. Get ready to get your hands dirty and enjoy the therapeutic nature of working with clay!
By the end of the class, you will have crafted and painted your very own dairy cow that reflects your personal creativity. Your piece will be left with us to be fired and dipped in a clear glaze after the session, and your finished item will be ready to collect in approximately 4–5 weeks.
