Throughout our respective explorations in the Arts, we have gained not only a wider worldview but also an expansion of spiritual consciousness. This brought each us to the appreciation of the advanced historical art forms of both the North American Indigenous Tribes and Early American Colonial People. This knowledge has given us an intimate perspective of the beauty and preciousness of life and those things which support and enhance our lives. This will be our first time being apart of an Avant-Garde Art & Craft Show. We are very much looking forward to the experience.
My husband has been in this craft for 45 years and has been called Master Pewterer by those who are considered Masters of their respective crafts. I have been in this craft for 21 years and hold the title of Journeyman Pewterer. Creativity comes from all aspects of life and recognizing beauty in its many forms. Due to this, ideas and inspirations are limitless. During his years of historic reenactment, my husband was steadily casting with pewter. He later was taught the basics of being a Pewterer by a Craft Master. He then began his true learning through experience and repetition. I, myself, studied the Pewter Craft under my husband’s tutelage.
My husband was already a Pewterer when we met. He realized I had a tool sense and decided to take me on as his Pewterer’s Apprentice. After 7 years I advanced to the level of Journeyman Pewterer. We each have a very similar process: 1.) Determine in actuality how we can utilize our respective talents, experiences and training to create in this reality the vision in our mind’s eye; 2.) Then do so. Within the next 5 years we would like to have more Ohioans visiting our gallery in downtown Millersburg. From our gallery, visitors get an up-close view of our workshop where we create all of our Pewterware. Expansion and passing the knowledge on to those who desire to learn will keep the craft of pewter alive for future generations. As artisans, we create solid, usable art with plain, clean lines that can be dressed up or down and is to be passed on to future generations. The message is quality, beauty, utility, creativity, longevity.
