Handbuilt. Imperfect. Slightly feral.

Welcome to Unruly Clay — a Sunshine Coast pottery studio making things the slow, messy and satisfying way. Nothing here is factory-perfect. Every piece has fingerprints, personality, and a story.

About Suzanne

I’m Suzanne — potter and enthusiastic maker of slightly wonky things. Unruly Clay grew from studio time into pottery, cows with big personalities, and workshops that keep things relaxed and human.

Pottery

Bowls for slow breakfasts, plates for shared dinners, and platters that somehow make everything feel a bit more special. Inspired by the Sunshine Coast, shaped by hand, and never exactly the same twice.

Highland Cows

These are 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.

Workshops

Relaxed, beginner-friendly, and zero pressure. You don’t need experience. You just need to show up and be willing to get your hands a bit messy. Highland cow workshops are a current favourite — and yes, they’re just as fun as they sound.
