The Metis Sash and Charlie Russell with Metis historian and craftsman Matt Hiltermann

For over a century, Charles M. Russell has been closely associated with his iconic sash. This talk explores the history of the Metis Nation, their connections to Montana, and the cultural significance of the sash through the perspective of a master weaver.

Join accliamed pastel artist Steve Oiestad for a two-day, in-depth workshop exploring the possibilities of working in pastel. Designed for artists with some experience, this class focuses on strengthening technique, understanding light and color, and developing a more confident, personal approach to your work.

With a small group setting, this workshop offers a more individualized experience giving participants time for one-on-one feedback, conversation, and guidance throughout the process. Steve will share insights from his own practice while working alongside participants as they build and refine their pieces. Whether you’re looking to deepen your skills or push your work in a new direction, this workshop provides a supportive space to learn, experiment, and grow.
