The aim of Pewter Live is to create contemporary design in pewter; to raise public awareness of the beauty and versatility of pewter; to promote the use of pewter by professional designers, and to encourage design students to work in pewter.
There are two competitions each year – the student and the open – with all entries and winning pieces on display.
Pewter Live is open to the public
2.00pm – 7.00pm Wednesday 7 June, and
10.00am – 7.00pm on Thursday 8 June.
Pewter Shop
For 2006 the Company, with the support of the Association of British Pewter Craftsmen, is launching its own Pewter Shop selling some of the finest British pewterware. Guests will also have the opportunity to purchase pewter direct from the manufacturers and makers at the usual Trade Show.
Marquee
Guests will also be able to visit the marquee where practising pewterers will demonstrate the craft of pewtering using the traditional methods of spinning, casting and turning.
