Designing Pewter Gifts and Keepsakes

We design and create all of our imaginative gifts and collectibles at our Mahone Bay workshop. Ideas for our new products evolve from many sources, including studies of objects found in nature, and decorative art and architecture from around the world.

Concepts are developed by sketching or making rough models. Models can be made from almost any material, although a rigid green wax is most often used. A variety of tools, like jeweler's saws, scrapers, files and burnishers, are used to create the wax "original".
