Studio West Bronze Foundry & Art Gallery

Don Begg Studio West is "A Sculpture Experience" We create bronze sculptures - miniature to monumental. Come see how bronze sculptures are made, tour our studios, see the "lost-wax" process and view finished bronze works in our fine art gallery.

This bronze foundry and gallery is one of Cochrane’s hidden gems. Don Begg has been an international award winning professional sculptor for half a century. Visitors always seem to be welcome and are treated to a very informative tour of the showroom and sometimes a view of bronzes in progress depending on whether the work in progress is public or confidential. Wife Shirley Begg was our guide and we spent a delightful hour learning the bronze processes and feasting our eyes on the variety of bronze works in the studio. They range from very small to probably fifteen to twenty feet. Shirley is a bronze sculptor as well and her excellent work is also on display. She was so welcoming you leave feeling you have a new friend. On historic Main Street (1st street) is a statue commonly known as The Chicken Lady She is a pioneer lady surrounded by her chickens and the eggs gathered are folded in her apron. A wonderful tribute to all farm women who contributed so much to our history of homesteading the land under primitive conditions. There are other Begg’s statues in the town and hundreds of statues across North America and five continents. Make sure to take a brochure at the studio to understand the vast collection that has come from this this modest studio in this historic town of Cochrane.

Cochrane Movie House

Reviewed By 168kerryh

We have interacted with very friendly staff absolutely EVERY time we have gone there. Perfection in the popcorn department that compliments a tidy food services area. The seats in theatre #1 are AMAZINGLY comfortable, especially for those longer movies. This business makes available a discount card each year that we do take advantage of. This makes a good deal even better! We feel that Cochrane is VERY fortunate to have this business in our town. Congratulations on an a well run establishment.

Reviewed By penoirea

I've been to this spa several times. I think Amanda and Corey are GREAT massage therapists. The spa has undergone some renos. Looks great. They've expanded in to the upper part of the building. Now that they have a TCM practitioner, I am going to go for accupuncture next.
