Field of Dreams 7PM

When Iowa farmer Ray hears a mysterious voice one night in his cornfield saying “If you build it, he will come,” he feels the need to act. Despite taunts of lunacy, Ray builds a baseball diamond on his land, supported by his wife, Annie. Afterward, the ghosts of great players start emerging from the crops to play ball, led by “Shoeless” Joe Jackson. But, as Ray learns, this field of dreams is about much more than bringing former baseball greats out to play.

Monarch Tagging

For the past several years high numbers of migrating monarchs have been found at Zillman’s Hickory Hills. Join us for a fun evening of catching, tagging and releasing monarch butterflies as they begin their annual migration.
Monarch butterflies cannot survive our cold Iowa winters, instead they travel up to 3,000 miles south to forests high in the mountains of Mexico. Monarchs will stop to nectar along the way which is to our advantage. Not only do they help to pollinate our plants, but it also gives us the opportunity to see them. We will be assisting with monarch research by catching the butterflies, placing a small tag on their wing, recording their information and releasing them to continue on their long journey. These tags help researchers to learn about the migration of the monarch.
Zillman’s Hickory Hills is located at 2437 Glasgow Rd. Pre-registration is not required. Nets and tags will be provided but please wear long pants and closed toed shoes.

Come Play with Clay: Beginning Wheel Throwing with Jessi Tucci

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.

Widow Clicquot

Widow Clicquot is based on the true story of the “Grande Dame of Champagne,” Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin (1777–1866) who, at the age of 20, became Madame Clicquot after marrying the scion of a winemaking family. Though their marriage was arranged, a timeless love blossomed between Barbe-Nicole (Haley Bennett) and her unconventional, erratic husband, François (Tom Sturridge). After her husband’s untimely death, Barbe-Nicole flouts convention by assuming the reins of the fledgling wine business they had nurtured together. Steering the company through dizzying political and financial reversals, she defies her critics and revolutionizes the champagne industry to become one of the world’s first great entrepreneurs.

Critics are calling it a dramatic, romantic, elevated “girl boss” story that effervesces. A regional exclusive screening!

“Centering around Haley Bennett’s sparkling performance, Widow Clicquot is a visually impressive tale of resilience that leaves a pleasing aftertaste on the palette.”
