I began making hand-wrought pewter 16 years ago with extensive studies under American pewter master Fred Fenster. Unlike commercial cast pewter, my work begins from high-quality lead-free pewter sheet which I shape, join, and finish entirely by hand. It is very labor-intensive process that only a handful of craftspeople are willing to do today.
Pewter’s workability offers a beautiful material for an exploration of forms, textures, and embellishments. Each piece is designed as a functional object with strong visual appeal and a finish that provides a welcoming feel in the user’s hand.
