Handbuilt. Imperfect. Slightly feral.
Handmade pottery and wonderfully unruly clay workshops on the Sunshine Coast.
Nothing here is factory-perfect. That’s the point.
Unruly Clay is a small Sunshine Coast pottery studio making things the slow, messy and satisfying way — coastal-inspired pottery, ceramic Highland cows with big personalities, and relaxed clay workshops where beginners are always welcome.
Handmade Pottery
Bowls for slow breakfasts, plates for shared dinners, and platters that make everything feel a bit more special. Inspired by the coast, shaped by hand, never exactly the same twice.

Highland Cows
The slightly chaotic heart of Unruly Clay — handmade, full of personality, and completely unapologetic. Some look sweet. Some look mildly concerned. A few have definitely seen things.
