Studio Talk with Nick Golfis
Thursday, August 29 at 6 pm
Log Cabin Studio at the C.M. Russell Museum
Free and open to the public. Seating limited.

Prior to the conservation of Charlie Russell's Studio, Charlie's original models and figurines were on display - almost exactly as he had left them. However, they were too fragile to be left in the studio without proper temperature and humidity controls in place. In an effort to give our museum patrons an authentic experience, artist Nick Golfis was hired to recreate a variety of these original pieces. We hope you'll join us for this studio talk where Golfis discusses how he completed this difficult task, the processes he took and see some of the original artifacts next to Golfis' reproductions.
