Pewter

Pewter Relief modelling or embossed pewter, also known as reujado, is used for decorative purposes, and done on thin sheets of pewter. The design is modelled from the back using special tools to create a relief or raised design on the front. The back is then filled with a filler such as beeswax, to prevent the moulded-out design on the soft metal from being flattened. Once this is done the front is treated with a chemical, called patina, to give the metal an aged effect and to create some depth. When complete the design is secured to a firm surface such as art canvases, boxes, tins and even candles to support the pewter.

What is Pewter Embossing?

The art of pewter...

Cast pewter is a completely different craft. It is very industrious and requires the melting down of the pewter and the pouring of it into moulds to make items such as wine goblets, bowls, serving spoons, etc. The price of pewter is quoted per running metre which often leaves people gasping. But very few artists need to buy a full meter of pewter! Work out the cost of each project and you will be pleasantly surprised to find the craft of pewter is no more expensive than any other hobby. In my workshops I will take your through each project as if you are right there sitting next to me. I explain what I am doing and why I am doing it, as I believe that you really need to understand the process. Being a video, you can work through the courses at your own time, re-watching or fast-forwarding, as you please. I am not trying to be prescriptive but would rather like to be inspiring, planting beautiful creative thoughts in your mind. The class fees are payed through PayPal in US Dollars. Please don’t let this put you off. If USD is not your currency you can easily convert the cost of the course to your currency. Simply put into a Google search “convert dollars to …… (your currency).” The payment portal is PayPal. If you don’t have a PayPal account put ‘create a PayPal account’ into the Google search. To set up a PayPal account is free and will take you about 2 minutes to do!
