Wheelthrowing 101: Wednesday Mornings

Black Hound Clay Studio South offers a comprehensive Wheelthrowing 101 class led by Marley Massey Parsons, designed for complete beginners as well as students with some prior experience. Over the course of several weeks, participants will learn foundational skills on the potter’s wheel and apply them to create unique and beautiful pottery. The class covers the full ceramic process from working with wet clay to trimming, decorating, and glazing. Students benefit from a small class environment, one-on-one attention from professional teaching artists, a clean and well-equipped studio, and a friendly, inclusive atmosphere that fosters learning and creativity. This beginner-friendly course requires no prior experience, making it accessible to anyone interested in learning wheelthrowing. Participants will enjoy hands-on guidance and structured instruction to build confidence and skill. Flexible installment payment options allow students to manage tuition more easily while taking part in the full course experience. By the end of the class, students will have developed technical proficiency, created their own pottery pieces, and gained the confidence to continue exploring wheelthrowing independently.
