All Skill Levels are Welcome!

Already attended a Beginning Wheel Class with Jessi? Sign-up and come out again! Continue to practice your skills, and get expert feedback guidance - build muscle memory!!

This workshop is about the experience of learning to work with a pottery wheel. It is a great way to experience firsthand working with clay.

Watch demonstrations from Jessi Tucci, ask questions and then try your own hand at throwing several pieces.

This workshop will expose you to: how to center clay on the wheel, and how to pull a small form (cups or bowls). This class is about the process of working with clay on the wheel rather than a specific outcome.

Each participant will complete at least 1-2 cups or bowls.

If desired the Studio Team will glaze and fire your creation to make it food-microwave-dishwasher safe -- for pick-up at a later date.

Instructor, Materials, Supplies, Tools and Equipment are included.

What to wear: Students must wear closed toed shoes for safety and ceramic wheel students should wear clothes they do not mind getting messy.

PLEASE BE ON TIME

Cancellation policy: DGM reserves the right to cancel sessions due to the minimum enrollment not being met - refunds will be issued within 10 days of event cancellation. Participants may not cancel their session for a refund. Tickets are transferable with advance notice.

About Instructor Jessi Tucci

Jessi Tucci has been working with clay for 15 years.

She had found a wheel in the back of her high school's ceramic room and begged her teacher to use it. With too many students in one class she had to stay after school hours to play around on the wheel.

It was an immediate addiction.

Restless after high school Jessi moved around the country and every semester, at every college Jessi took a ceramic class, even after she had way too many art credits. Functional pottery is her passion.

Brunch Pop-up: every second Sunday - starts September 8.

Oyster Bar Pop-up: monthly on Wednesdays, next one is August 21st!

Family Supper Club Pop-up: Monthly on Wednesdays, kicking off on September 4th
