#dietercollen

This week for Workshop Wednesday we wanted to feature a fellow restorer/artist Dieter Cöllen. Dieter recreates historical models comprised of cork and also restores existing historical models. Pictured above beginning at the top is his historical model of the Pharos of Alexandria currently part of an exhibit in Leoben, Austria. Pictured second is his cork model of the Temple of Poseidon currently for sale and located at our gallery! The last picture shows Dieter beginning work on one of his models.
